If I'm not mistaken, it was written around 1870 or 1880 (not quite sure what year), but perhaps it would fit within your story's time period. :)Tarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390283409265644737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-74161897758432277932017-09-27T15:22:52.789-04:002017-09-27T15:22:52.789-04:00Wow---what an amazing story, Elaine!
