The Legend of Ragged Sarah Langley: A Revolutionary Girl in Pre-Revolutionary Times by Mrs Laura C Ricci (Paperback / softback, 2014)

There is a legend that has grown up in the beautiful little town of Hingham, on the coast of Massachusetts, 20 miles south of Boston and 20 miles rth of Plymouth. Everyone loves a story, but a legend is even better, having been told over and over until nearly everyone believes it. To this day, many believe the tale that a girl called Ragged Sarah Langley was born and raised on Langley Island in Hingham Harbor. She was a poor little waif, the story goes, who was the daughter of a poor fisherman. The Legend of Ragged Sarah Langley is the story of a young girl's journey to womanhood in colonial America. A young girl with the dream of a school where girls as well as boys could attend, and how she grew up to found Derby Academy, the first co-ed school in the United States, for which the country will ever be in her debt.
