About the author

Samuel Gridley Howe (10 November 1801 - 9 January 1876) was a nineteenth century United States physician, abolitionist, and an advocate of education for the blind. He organized and was the first director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind.

Howe married Julia Ward, an ardent supporter of abolitionism and an activist in the cause of woman's suffrage. Ward composed the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" during the American Civil War.

He was the father of three accomplished authors, Laura E. Richards, Maud Howe Elliott & Florence Howe.

As an abolitionist, in 1863, he was one of three men appointed by the Secretary of War to the American Freedmen's Inquiry Commission, to investigate conditions of freedmen in the South since the Emancipation Proclamation and recommend how they could be aided in their transition to freedom. In addition to traveling to the South, Howe traveled to Canada West (now Ontario, Canada), where thousands of former slaves had escaped to freedom and established new lives; he interviewed freedmen as well as government officials in Canada.
