Abigail Powers Fillmore (March 13, 1798 - March 30, 1853), wife of Millard Fillmore, was First Lady of the United States from 1850 to 1853.

In 1849, Abigail Fillmore came to Washington, DC as wife of the Vice President; 16 months later, after Zachary Taylor's death at a height of sectional crisis, the Fillmores moved into the White House.

 Today in History: November 29
Louisa May Alcott, the second daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott, teacher and transcendentalist philosopher, and Abigail May, social worker and reformer, was born in the "disagreeable month" of November, just like her literary creation Jo March, the rambunctious heroine of Little Women.
During the 1870s, Alcott and her mother were deeply involved in the women's suffrage movement, canvassing door-to-door encouraging women to register to vote.
Alcott believed that learning should be a pleasant experience for children, and that the environment of the classroom should be beautiful.

 Louisa May Alcott
Louisa was the second daughter of Bronson Alcott and Abigail May, who met while Abigail was visiting her brother, Samuel J. May, minister of the Unitarian church in Brooklyn, Connecticut.
Alcott's "small share" was a month's service during the winter of 1862-63 as a nurse at the Union Hotel Hospital in Georgetown, Virginia.
As Alcott's health continued to fail, she tried various doctors and "cures." When her father suffered a stroke in 1882, she established a home for him with Anna, her two sons and little Lulu at 10 Louisburg Square in Boston.

Alcott's earliest work is represented by the author's first published book in first edition, a volume that encapsulates much of her youth.4 The Alcott family, living in Concord, Massachusetts, when Louisa was in her teens, owed much to their generous and illustrious neighbor Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Alcott wrote in her final chapter, ãIt is a strong temptation to the weary historian to close the present tale with an earthquake which should engulf Plumfield and its environs so deeply in the bowels of the earth that no youthful Schliemann could ever find a vestige of it.
Alcott followed her Scrap-Bag with other collections for young readers, most of which are represented at BYU: Proverb Stories (1882), Spinning- Wheel Stories (1884) reanimating historical America, three volumes of Lulu's Library (1886-89) including tales told to her little niece Lulu Nieriker, May's daughter.

 Alcotts and Orchard House
Amos Bronson Alcott originally purchased two houses, both dating to the early 1700’s.
He moved the smaller tenant house and joined it to the rear of the main structure, making many improvements to the main house, as he explains in his journal entries of 1857-58.
Approximately 75% of the furnishings were owned by the Alcotts, and the rooms look very much as they did when the family lived there.

Alcott, who in spite of many bit- ter experiences in the past never lost her faith in people and was rather too apt to take them for what they seemed to be, tried to think of some one who would be glad of so pleasant a home as described.
Alcott had rallied from the depression caused by the failure at Fruit- lands, he went back to Concord with his family and worked manfully with his hands for their support; he also re- sumed his delightful conversations, which in those days of transcendentalism had become somewhat famous.
Alcott interrupted him, exclaim- ing with delight: My daughter Louisa wrote that 1 In telling me of this, Louisa said: Do you wonder that I felt as proud as a peacock when father came home and told me?
