Langhorn & Mary: A 19th Century American Love Story ReviewI couldn't put this book down right from the introduction.
Priscilla Stone Sharp has created a wonderful narrative woven around the factual documents she gathered during 15 years of family history research.
The story centers around 2 people, Langhorn Wellings, a black man, an orphan, born in the early 1800's and living in bucolic Bucks County Pennsylvania, befriended by the Quakers who helped him in many ways throughout his life, and his wife, Mary Stone, daughter of German-Americans Jacob & Mary Stone, one of 17 children.
Ms. Stone Sharp writes about her ancestors trials and triumphs in a most heartfelt and loving way, without getting overly emotional or making saints out of them. She honors their memory by creating a story of their life that is written with realism and warmth.
Langhorn and Mary's relationship not only had to bear up under the burden of nineteenth century extreme racism and its accompanying heartaches, but when Mary died of natural causes, Lang was accused of her murder, sent to jail and put on trial.
'Langhorn and Mary; A 19th Century American Love Story', in the end is a shining example of what doing family history research should be--bringing your ancestors lives into the light, becoming acquainted with them, and growing to love them.
