Acerca de esta escucha
This theater piece was first performed in Medora North Dakota as part of a Theodore Roosevelt event in 2023 (and again in 2024). Written in the 1990s by the great granddaughter of Mary Sewall, it came alive nearly thirty years later, chronicling her life journey as a pioneer child in northern Maine, a servant girl, a schoolteacher, then wife of Theodore Roosevelt’s lifelong friend who he guided through the north woods as a Harvard student. Mary was beside William and Theodore at Elkhorn Ranch, nearly dying in childbirth, returning to Island Falls Maine to birth and raise her remaining children. She attended TR’s inaugural ball and met him yet again as President in Bangor before his death in 1919. The story is told with vivid imagery and feeling.
©2024 Donna Davidge (P)2024 Donna DavidgeA beautiful and vivid true account written and performed by Mary Sewall's great granddauighter. Born in Maine just after the Civil War, we experience Mary's rural childhood, her time as a young and inexperienced school teacher, and the budding romance of a young woman. Her adventures take her to an even harsher North Dakota as she struggles to raise a family where hard work and faith are essential to survival. It's a story of love and loss and life richly lived.
The author/narrator takes you on a sound journey you won't forget. Highly recommended!
What a treat!

Sewall (1861-1933). From child-Mary's fears, traversing the dark woods of Maine to an unknown
destination, to years as a servant girl, as teacher (at sixteen) in a one-room schoolhouse for $10 a year,
to marrying blue-eyed William Sewall, friend & mentor to young Theodore Roosevelt, to excruciating
childbirth & wild-West hardships on TR's parched North Dakota ranch, to honored guests at
his inauguration -- this is a quintessential American life of the late-frontier period, vividly written
& narrated by Mary's great-granddaughter, Donna Sewall Davidge.
