Book excerpt: Ann Preston is best known as a medical pioneer and nineteenth century Quaker activist. The immediate cause of the publication of Cousin Ann's Stories for Children (1849) was most likely the then recent 27 hour escape at the end of March, 1849, of Henry "Box" Brown, a Richmond slave who left his family and escaped north in a small wooden crate. Includes stories and poems on the subject of slavery and other moral issues, including temperance, healthy diet, and avoidance of tobacco; to treasure freedom and abhor slavery; to appreciate the bounty and beauty of God's creation; and the need to treat others generously and honestly.
