Lucy Chase and Sarah Chase

Lucy Chase (1822–1909) and Sarah Chase (1836–1911) were sisters from Massachusetts, United States, who volunteered as teachers in freedmen's schools during and after the American Civil War. Their letters to each other and their friends and family from this period are a valuable resource for historians on the Reconstruction era and on 19th-century African-American social and cultural history. The letter collection Dear Ones at Home was published by Vanderbilt University Press in 1965.
