Summary "Abigail Adams and Her Times" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the life of Abigail Adams, exploring her role and experiences during a pivotal time in American history as the nation moved towards independence. It provides insight into her personal life and relationships, particularly her marriage to John Adams, as well as the broader social and political context of the era. The opening of the book sets the stage by providing a glimpse into the world into which Abigail Smith was born in 1744, amidst political unrest in both England and the American colonies. It introduces her family background, noting her father's position as a reverend, and touches upon the intimate details of her early life in Puritan New England. The narration paints a vivid picture of the societal challenges faced by a Puritan child and hints at Abigail’s strong will and intelligence even from a young age. Through detailed accounts of her upbringing, the text foreshadows the significant impact she would have as a supporter of American independence and reflects on the environment that shaped her thoughts and philosophies.
