Final Essay- The Westward Movement and Those Left Behind

In 1873, Andrew Warren delivered and address at the centennial celebration in Jaffrey, NH, and he delivered a belated eulogy to his sister, Abiah Warren Hiller, in which he said, "...Her first thought was ought it to be done, if so, she did it next. Would there were more such women in the world. She left a bright example for her daughters and all young ladies to follow. May they be able to walk in her footsteps."

Based upon your knowledge of Abiah Warren Hiller and other women left alone, describe three personal qualities which enabled them to overcome adversity and to achieve success. Provide evidence by referring to specific events found in their stories. You will need an introduction, three supporting paragraphs, and a strong concluding paragraph.
