Spanning centuries, We Gather Together is anchored amid the strife of the Civil War, and driven by the fascinating story of Sarah Josepha Hale, a widowed mother with no formal schooling who became one of the 19th century's most influential tastemakers and who campaigned for decades to make real an annual day of thanks. Populated by an enthralling supporting cast of characters including Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Sojourner Truth, Walt Whitman, Norman Rockwell, and others, We Gather Together is ultimately a story of tenacity and dedication, an inspiring tale of how imperfect people in challenging times can create powerful legacies. 600 10 $a Hale, Sarah Josepha Buell, $d 1788-1879. 650 0 $a Thanksgiving Day $x History. 650 0 $a Holidays $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Holidays (non-religious). $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Hale, Sarah Josepha Buell, $d 1788-1879. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00006020 650 7 $a Holidays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958730 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 650 7 $a Thanksgiving Day. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149171 650 7 $a Women authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177210 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1861-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kiernan, Denise. $t We gather together $d New York : Dutton, Penguin Random House LLC, 2020. $z 9780593183267 $w (DLC) 2020030539 941 $a 13 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035836.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021643.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020451.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006012937.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062759.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063922.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210703010704.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20210423010137.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210109010310.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210108011236.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210105012106.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210105011125.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201216011115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=140D01763C4811EBAF9DE24839ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
