I want to share with those of you who follow this blog the pages from a book titled Sallie Lee Mahood Autobiography. This young girl was sent to school at Green Mount Home School for Young Ladies. She went there for 4 school year sessions. Here are the pages from her book that pertain to her years as a student there. I hope you enjoy them. I have permission to share her writing from her descendant Julia Mahood, who like her ancestor is also an artist. If you look up Julia online you will see she looks much like Sallie and even paints in a similar fashion. Thanks to both of these ladies for making the pages of this book available to us all. Her son Alex Blount Mahood is the one who encouraged her to tell her story. It's a great read! Her book can be found online. I am so appreciative to Sallie for telling her story and for Julia for allowing me to share it with all of you.
