youʻve managed to shrink history (or expand it, depending on your point of view) and people it with neighbors and shopkeepers...this time par excellence...whatʻs the opposite of a chill? a warm flush? I get this sensation when you connect all the dots, Dickinsonʻs father with the abolitionists...the determination of good people across the land and conversely, the entrenched “other” who think itʻs ok to enslave others...I applaud you and appreciate you!

A key literary mentor of Emily Dickinson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, was the most ferocious white abolitionist in Massachusetts. Unitarian minister (!!) ... Stormed Boston's courthouse to free Anthony Burns ... Among the Secret Six who funded John Brown, and the only one who never fled after Harpers Ferry ... hard-fighting colonel of a pioneer Black regiment in the CW ... And after a life of turmoil and consequence, still titled his memoir "Cheerful Yesterdays!" You can't make up stuff like this.
