D'Wolf Family Tales and a Christmas in Providence
In Harriette Hall Brooks’s reminiscence, the D'Wolfs and their circle unfold from a Providence wedding announced by Bishop Griswold to later Christmases at the Mount. The narrative recalls Aggie and Poll, Cuban plantations, and a noble wax doll gifted after James’s Napoleonic court visit, ending with a girl’s near loss and a doll lost to love.
