From Dawn to Daylight by A Minister's Wife | Antique Book with Attribution Error on Cover | Antique Curiosity

From Dawn to Daylight; or, The Simple Story of a Western Home By a Minister's Wife (Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher) Harriet B. Stowe Eunice White Bullard Beecher Published by Hurst & Co. Publishers Hardback 224 pages This text was originally published in 1859. I am not sure when this edition came out. The publisher Hurst & Co. operated between 1871 and 1919. Though the cover of this edition attributes the writing to famed abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, it was actually written by her sister-in-law, Eunice White Bullard Beecher, who was married to Harriet's brother Henry Ward Beecher. From Dawn to Daylight was originally published semi-anonymously under the name "A Minister's Wife," which led to confusion in later editions. I think the error is fascinating and makes this edition an extra special curiosity. This book is autobiographical and was quite controversial in its day. It tells the story of a a woman who follows her husband, a clergyman, to the frontier.
