Susan Jones wouldn’t always be known by that name. She lived a life serving others, but she did so in both the domestic realm of femininity and in the outside realm of masculinity, crossing genders to do so at the call of war.

Sarah Piatt was also from the lineage of Boones and Bryans who fought against indigenous peoples from the east coast to Kentucky. She also married into a family who fought against the indigenous peoples of Ohio, later settling on Miami land, which had been colonized by William Henry Harrison--land now known as North Bend. Sarah seemed to sympathize with the native populations, though, writing this poem for the Louisville Journal in July 1857. #NativeAmericanHistory #poetry #NativeOhio #Indigenous #SarahMBPiatt #Louisville
I visited Sarah Piatt's grave yesterday to recite her poem "A New Thanksgiving," recognizing its power today, though published in 1910 and likely written from her home on occupied Miami land, now known as North Bend, Ohio. #SarahMBPiatt #womenshistory #Cincinnati #cincygram #poetry #thanksgiving #dayofmourning
