Summary "A Little Maid of Massachusetts Colony" by Alice Turner Curtis is a children's historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Anne Nelson, who embarks on an adventurous journey from Province Town to Brewster, Massachusetts. This tale unfolds during the tumultuous times of the American Revolution, capturing the spirit of courage and exploration prevalent in the lives of young children living in early American colonies. At the start of the novel, Anne eagerly seeks permission from her Aunt Martha to visit her friend Rose Freeman, leading to excitement about a journey to Boston. However, a misunderstanding with her friend Amanda results in Anne being unfairly punished, which prompts her to run away in defiance. The narrative quickly shifts as Anne finds herself in various situations, including an encounter with Indigenous people, showcasing her resilience. The opening establishes a foundation for themes of friendship, adventure, and personal growth, as Anne navigates the challenges before her, highlighting the significant historical context of young lives during the early-American Revolutionary period.
