Lucy Thurston and Linda Arvidson: Special Edition

By Lucy G Thurston and Linda Arvidson

This special edition of the autobiographies of Lucy Goodale Thurston and Linda Arvidson Griffith bring together the lives of two women at different times in American history. The life of Lucy Goodale Thurston was filled with adventure and tragedy as one of the first American missionaries to voyage to the Hawaiian Islands bent on fulfilling the wishes of Henry Obookiah, a native of Hawaii, who tragically died before he could complete his journey back to the Pacific. Linda Arvidson Griffith was the wife of famed silent film director D. W. Griffith and experienced firsthand the birth of the motion picture industry from its inception, working alongside film notables of the era such as Mary and Jack Pickford, Dorothy and Lillian Gish, Robert Harron, Mabel Normand, Blanche Sweet, and Mae Marsh. Published in one volume for the first time and edited with additional material not published previously.
