Courting in Connecticut and a Ladies Column
An 1855 Indiana agricultural weekly card recounts a domestic vignette with Josiah and Sally by a fireside, a humorous Conductor tale, and salacious quips. It weaves in a tale of love triangles, a budding romance, and a laconic judge’s quip amid rail news and a broader social column on women’s work and virtue.
