As a young woman in the nineteenthcentury, Elizabeth Margaret Chandler could not help end slavery by becoming a lawyer or legislator. But she could writeand publishher passionate opinions. And, beginning when she was just sixteen, thats what she did. Hers was a voice out of the backwoods wilderness of the Michigan Territory, laying the groundwork for Emancipation. Elizabeth practiced Quaker modestyher poems and essays were published under a variety of pseudonyms. But in less than five years, no anonymous woman was better known in the cause of abolition. This is her story. It is also the story of life in the 1830s Michigan Territory: the excitement of raising a cabin, the terrifying awesomeness of a prairie fire, and the joys of learning new skills like sausagemaking and maplesugaring. Elizabeth wrote enthusiastically of the surprising beauty of her new home, contradicting the saying, Dont go to Michigan, that land of ills; the word means ague, fever, and chills!
