"All Will Yet Be Well": The Diary of Sarah Gillespie Huftalen, 1873-1952 (1993). 

Sarah Gillespie Huftalen grew up on a farm outside Manchester, Iowa.  She began teaching country school as a teenager and eventually taught for over fifty years in Iowa's rural schools.  Sarah began keeping a diary as a little girl, and she continued writing in it for more than three-quarters of a century.  This book was published as part of the University of Iowa Press's Burr Oak series.  To order a copy of this diary, which I edited for publication, please click on  University of Iowa Press

I also edited Sarah Gillespie's childhood diary entries as part of a series of books for middle-school readers, published by Capstone Press.  You can learn more about the entire Capstone series, entitled "Diaries, Letters, and Memoirs," at this URL:  Diaries, Letters, and Memoirs Series 

In addition to editing Sarah's childhood diary for the series, I served as consultant and provided a general introduction for the series.  As Capstone Press notes, "This series explores and supports the standards under "The History of the United States: Democratic Principles and Values and People from Many Cultures Who Contributed to Its Cultural, Economic, and Political Heritage," as required by the National Standards for History."
