1850 — Harriet Beecher Stowe arrives in Brunswick seven months pregnant after 18 years in Cincinnati. While living in Brunswick in 1850-1851, when her husband Calvin, of the Bowdoin Class of 1824, was teaching theology, Stowe wrote “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” one of the most influential novels in American history. Stowe wrote in her husband’s study in Appleton hall and in the family home on Federal Street, where she hosted Bowdoin students to read and discuss the book before it was published.
