Late in her life, only months before her death in March 1888, Louisa May Alcott wrote her own recollections of her childhood. These were happy memories. Hard times appeared glossed over: no mention of the Fruitlands failure that almost broke up the family, only a passing nod to theTempleSchoolepisode that effectively ended her father’s teaching career. Now in her mid fifties, these days were only memories to the prolific author. Her mother, Abigail, and her two younger sisters, Elizabeth and May, were dead; her father, Bronson, had suffered a paralytic stroke five years earlier, leaving him partially paralyzed. She herself was plagued with various illnesses that kept her from writing as much as she desired. Since December 1886, Alcott had lived primarily at Dr. Rhoda Lawrence’s convalescent home in Roxbury, Massachusetts, at Dunreath Place. [download]
