Description

In 1700 a young, gentle Englishwoman sailed for three months to reach her husband’s newly-acquired colony of Pennsylvania. A “serious piece of fiction,” THE WIND COMING FAIR gives a different account of life then through the experiences of William Penn’s second wife. It relates her time of fabrics and fashions, midwives and doctors, servants and slaves, as well as Delaware Indians and the turtle clan, printers and punishment, Swedes and superstitions. Through exciting and difficult years and with growing family and responsibilities, Hannah Callowhill Penn kept her good business judgment and became the first woman manager of Pennsylvania.
