She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary. On 15 April 1874, she married Henry Earle of New York city, changing her name from Mary Alice Morse to Alice Morse Earle. Her writings, beginning in 1890, focused on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians. She wrote a number of books on colonial America and especially the New England region .<br \/>\nShe was a passenger aboard the RMS Republic when, while in a dense fog, that ship collided with the SS florida. During the transfer of passengers, Alice fell into the water. Her near drowning in 1909 off the coast of Nantucket during this abortive trip to Egypt weakened her health sufficiently that she died two years later, in Hempstead, Long Island.<br \/>\nFrom Wiki\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/stagecoachandtav009093mbp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/stagecoachandtav009093mbp\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Stage-coach and Tavern Days<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/in.ernet.dli.2015.233561\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/in.ernet.dli.2015.233561\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Home Life in Colonial Days<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/sundialsrosesofy011350mbp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/sundialsrosesofy011350mbp\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Sundials and Roses of yesterday<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/childlifeincolonialdays_1312_librivox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/childlifeincolonialdays_1312_librivox\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Child Life in Colonial Days<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/sabbathinpurita00earlgoog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/sabbathinpurita00earlgoog\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Sabbath in Puritan New England<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/twocenturiesofco10115gut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/twocenturiesofco10115gut\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Two Centuries of Costume in America Vol 1<\/h2><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/dazian_646555_002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/dazian_646555_002\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Two Centuries of costume in America Vol 2<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/curiouspunishme01earlgoog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/curiouspunishme01earlgoog\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Curious Punishments of Bygone Days<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/diaryannagreenw01winsgoog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/diaryannagreenw01winsgoog\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Diary of Anna Green Winslow, A Boston School Girl of 1771<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/customsandfashi00earlgoog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/customsandfashi00earlgoog\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Customs and Fashions in Old New England<\/h2><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/oldtimegardensn00unkngoog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/oldtimegardensn00unkngoog\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2>Old Time Gardens<\/h2><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book shelf of Alice Morse Earle Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 &#8211; February 16, 1911) was an American historian and author from Worcester, Massachusetts.
