About Alice Morse Earle
- Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and author from Worcester, Massachusetts.
- She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary.
- On 15 April 1874, she married Henry Earle of New York City, changing her name from Mary Alice Morse to Alice Morse Earle.
- Her writings, beginning in 1890, focussed on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians.
- She wrote a number of books on colonial America (and especially the New England region) such as Curious Punishments of Bygone Days. She was a passenger aboard the RMS Republic when, while in a dense fog, that ship collided with the SS Florida.
- During the transfer of passengers, Alice fell into the water.
- Her near drowning in 1909 off the coast of Nantucket during this abortive trip to Egypt weakened her health sufficiently that she died two years later, in Hempstead, Long Island.
