| Publisher Description: A Girl from Sellwood, a brief memoir, provides insights into Marjorie Wright's childhood in Portland between 1921 and 1939. Taught by her grandmother to respect the endeavors and fruits of her ancestors, Marjorie Wright recorded portions of the family history, to be discovered later by family members who had in turn been taught to preserve family stories. Besides details of day-to-day life in that era, A Girl from Sellwood also includes an appendix with extensive genealogy of the historic Brewster and Barrell families of New England, as well as the author's Wright and Tozier ancestry. |
