Today in Labor History November 29, 1832: Louisa May Alcott, author, nurse, feminist and abolitionist, was born. Her writing was influenced by the transcendentalists, like Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Longfellow, whom she knew personally. While she was most famous for her book, “Little Women,” she also wrote “Work,” an autobiographical novel that exposed the exploitation of women workers. Poverty forced her to work at a young age as a teacher, seamstress, governess and domestic. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse and developed typhoid fever. The medicine she took contained mercury, which may have contributed to the autoimmune disorders that plagued her for the rest of her life and that ultimately killed her. She is buried on Author’s Ridge, at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, in Concord, near Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne.

A quotation from Longfellow

Toiling — rejoicing — sorrowing,
   Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
   Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
   Has earned a night’s repose.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) American poet
“The Village Blacksmith,” st. 7 (1840)

"The Village Blacksmith," st. 7 (1840) - Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth | WIST Quotations

Toiling -- rejoicing -- sorrowing, Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night’s repose.

WIST Quotations

‘PANDORA: …What else remains for me?

EPIMETHEUS:
Youth, #hope, and love:
To build a new life on a ruined life,
To make the future fairer than the past,
And make the past appear a troubled dream...’

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Masque of Pandora (1875)

I guess the railroad bridge where the #MidtownGreeway ends instead of crossing the #MississippiRiver is where the #OregonTrail crosses the #WinchellTrail in #Minneapolis along West River Parkway.

You died of fundamental attribution error. It happens to the best of us. No shame in that.
