The Moir Family Saga and Isabella's Rise in Ohio
This narrative traces John Moir and his daughter Isabella from Scottish border legends through Moir’s duel and execution, his family’s tragedy including Isabella’s mother’s death, Isabella’s exile to an Ohio asylum, and her eventual recovery of sanity aided by garden scenes, poems, and letters. It interweaves themes of genius, insanity, abolitionist impact, and the influence of Johannesburg-like hardships in 19th century America.
