RG134-06-01Description
Four Sisters from Boston by Nell B. Adams recounts the lives and legacies of four Northern-born sisters—Mary, Emma ("Tigee"), Flora, and Daisy Putnam—who helped shape post-Civil War Greenville, SC. Daughters of George and Mary Jane Putnam, early textile industrialists, the sisters brought cultural and civic influence to the South. Aunt May led a cotton mill and founded key civic groups. Flora championed the hospital system. Tigee was adventurous and principled, while Daisy, though frail, was musically and socially vibrant. Their stories reflect the family's adaptation, leadership, and impact on Greenville's evolution into a progressive Southern city.Collection
