"Abigail Field Mott (1766-1851), writer and abolitionist. As a writer, Abigail Mott explored a number of topics, experimenting with political, historical, and children's literature. This, her most famous work, was - BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF PERSONS OF COLOR. First published in 1826, it was one of the first compilations of African- American biography including sketches of famous African-Americans such as Phyllis Wheatley. Mott compiled the book with Mary Sutton Wood (1805-1894) using the name A. Mott (in an 1877 reprint she was listed as Alexander Mott). Lindley Murray sponsored the publication of the book and was also responsible for the 1877 reprint titled NARRATIVES OF COLORED AMERICANS."
