Her book: Uncle Tom’s Cabin Or Life Among The Lowly, Universal Edition, Houghton Mifflin Company, Riverside Press, 1892. Inscribed: “Mr. James Smith Bush from his friend Harriet Beecher Stowe, Trust in the Lord and Do Good.” Book in G-VG condition, pictorial cover. Binding nice and tight, pages browning from age.

James Smith Bush was an Episcopal Priest and religious writer. Ancestor of the Bush political family. He was the father of business magnate Samuel Prescott Bush. Grandfather of U.S. Senator Prescott Bush, great grandfather of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush and great grandfather of U.S. President George W. Bush. James Smith Bush died in 1889 and this copy was printed in 1892.
