Self taught mother of Missouri teaches her children to read
A remarkable Texas tale follows Mrs Moore whose husband opposed any aid to the wicked yet she, driven by poverty and five children, learns to spell and read, teaches her children at home, hunts for sustenance, and eventually moves to Arkansas where she continues schooling by night and purchases primers for all. Her story, cited in Mrs Holley’s Texas biography, portrays a heroic domestic woman whose quiet education reshapes her family and stands as a testament to self-culture amid hardship.
