There's also this one with a similar title from 1886 by Walter Frederick Walker:
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL13995463M/The_Azores And from all I've read, it sounds like pre-20th century women did pretty much stay home and work and tend to children, and had not much of a life beyond the house. I suspect a lot of marriages were arranged, and daughters were treated like prisoners until they were handed over to a husband. But as anyone who does much genealogy research soon discovers, this was not entirely effective. ;) My g-g-grandfather who came to California in 1865 didn't get married for another 17 years after he got here. I have a hard time believing he was celibate all that time. Which makes me wonder if there was perhaps a first wife and other kids who we don't know about? -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
