In researching and writing this, it felt a bit like I was dancing and skipping all around but not quite exactly on Harriet’s own story. There isn’t much I could find on Harriet herself, and even this picture is only maybe a picture of her (some have argued that this is a picture of her first/third husband’s second wife, Phoebe-I’ll explain in a minute). This was a tricky narrative to scrap together (and consequently has taken a bit longer to write than others in this series).

Part 10 in a series see the rest of the series here. This photo is frequently attributed as Harriet Armitage Larter Gardner Larter (1830–1866), however, there is some dispute that this may actually be a photo of Phoebe Marie Curtis Neach Larter (1852–1949).
