A story is behind each of the nearly 80 samplers illustrated in this book. The author has diligently searched through records censuses, and found descendants to reveal the stories.
Working with clues provided by a particular style of stitching, an embroidered motif, an unusual array of color, or a sampler inscription, Mary Jaene Edmonds has diligently searched through dusty town records, pored over state censuses, and tracked down descendants to locate nearly every stitcher whose work is shown here, revealing her story. In fact, the color choices of the stitchers are interesting: some much darker than you'd think and some much more outlandish than samplers are usually thought to be.
The cover photo is of the sampler of 13yo Polly Phippen of Salem MA made in 1783. As school-mistresses and the locations of their early American classrooms have gone largely unrecorded, these astonishing embroideries--which are usually signed, dated, and even sometimes inscribed with the names of the towns in which they were worked and the names of the embroiderers' teachers--serve as historic documents, attesting to the existence of colonial education for women.
