Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Harriett believed her purpose in life was to write. And write she did. She made a difference in her time by exposing the evils of human slavery. Her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, was written in Brunswick, Maine, where her husband was a professor at Bowdoin College.
Harriett Beecher Stowe and her 10 siblings had been raised to "make a difference" in the world and, although she wrote on many other topics, it was this book, originally published between 1851 and 1852 as a series of vignettes in an anti-slavery publication, that became a runaway best-seller. Stowe wrote the serial stories to highlight the plight of runaway slaves. She herself disobeyed the law by hiding fugitives in her home in Brunswick. Today it is hard to imagine Brunswick, Maine, as a hotbed of protest against anything. Instead it has the aura of a picture-postcard-pretty sleepy little New England college town, which is exactly what it is, of course. View Brunswick City Guide
