Whitney, Adeline Dutton Train

▪ American writer
née  Adeline Dutton Train  
born Sept. 15, 1824, Boston, Mass., U.S.
died March 21, 1906, Milton, Mass.

      American writer whose books, largely for young people, reflected her belief that the home was the ultimate key to virtue.

      Adeline Train was the daughter of a prosperous merchant. In 1843 she married Seth D. Whitney, a merchant more than 20 years her senior. She began writing for publication in the late 1850s. Her poems and articles became regular features in local Massachusetts newspapers, and in 1859 she published her first book, Mother Goose for Grown Folks, a collection of characteristically humorous and didactic verses. Boys at Chequasset (1862) and Faith Gartney's Girlhood (1863), both juvenile novels, won her the audience that was to remain faithfully hers for four decades.

      Over that span of time Whitney's underlying subject remained unchanged: the utter goodness of hearth and home. Her books include The Gayworthys (1865); a series of four novels constituting the enormously popular Real Folks Series—A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's Life (1866), We Girls (1870), Real Folks (1871), and The Other Girls (1873); Sights and Insights (1876); Odd or Even (1880); Daffodils (1887), a book of verse; Square Pegs (1899); and Biddy's Episodes (1904). True to her message, Whitney took no part in public affairs and disapproved of the woman suffrage movement.
