Publisher's Synopsis
Kate Sanborn (July 11, 1839 - July 9, 1917) was an American author, teacher and lecturer. Also, a reviewer, compiler, essayist, and farmer, Sanborn was famous for her cooking and housekeeping. Sanborn was educated at home by her father almost entirely, though tutors in mathematics were employed for her. Her drill in Latin commenced at eight years with studying a Latin booklet, and continued till she left home to support herself. She was obliged to commit to memory some portion of prose or poetry daily, and also to describe something in writing.
