Eliza (Lida) Calvert Obenchain (1856-1935), who also wrote as Eliza Calvert Hall, was an American author, poet, essayist, and folk art historian. She was born and raised in Kentucky. Her family life was changed dramatically after her father's bankruptcy. In 1879, Scribner's magazine published two of her poems. Influenced by the Woman's Journal, a suffragist newspaper, she started to write in support of suffrage and to work for the Kentucky Equal Rights Association. In 1898 Cosmopolitan published her first major short story, Sally Ann's Experience. A collection of her short stories was compiled in 1907 as Aunt Jane of Kentucky. Two further collections of stories followed: The Land of Long Ago (1909) and Clover and Blue Grass (1916), and a novel, To Love and to Cherish (1911).

This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It contains classical literature works from over two thousand years. Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of international literature classics available in printed format again - worldwide.

Well known for her gentle folk wisdom, the elderly fictional Aunt Jane vividly describes a picturesque and almost vanished way of life in the rural South of the last century. Her words recall lavish Sunday dinners, courtships, quilting bees, church meetings, and county fair competitions.Yet Aunt Jane of Kentucky is more than a collection of reminiscences about the region of Western Kentucky where Eliza Caroline Obenchain (who published under the name Eliza Calvert Hall) was born and raised. A dedicated suffragist, Obenchain worked to win rights for women in the areas of property ownership and divorce. Now modern readers can become acquainted with the strong women of these tales.
