Hartford bookstore ticket rear pastedown. Inscribed: "Harriet Beecher Stowe/ written for/ Miss Cleaveland/ June 30, 1895" PROVENANCE: Heirs of the Cleaveland family, whose genealogy goes back to colonial Connecticut. Penciled in the inscription before "Miss Cleaveland" are the letters "EW" which identifies the inscribee as Elizabeth Whittlesey Cleaveland, one of Elisha Whittlesey Cleaveland's daughters, and great, great granddaughter of Moses Cleaveland (1754 - 1806), Connecticut lawyer, politician, soldier, and surveyor who founded the city of Cleveland, Ohio, while surveying the Connecticut Western Reserve in 1796. During the American Revolution, he served as the brigadier general of the Connecticut militia. Both Stowe and the inscribee were born in Connecticut, where they both died, Stowe's inscription here is in a shaky hand, and dated a year and a day before her death on July 1, 1896 at the age of 85.
