Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Hannah Lane Usher of Buxton and Hollis, Maine: With Historical and Genealogical Facts Relating to the Lane Family of Buxton
The portrait of her which appears in the front of this volume was taken in March, 1874, when she was past seventy-eight years of age. Two years later she visited the World's Fair at Philadelphia and enjoyed it for several weeks.
Her manners were those of her generation, more formal, dignified and impressive than those of the present day, yet, withal, they were graceful, gracious and easy.
