[edit] Boston link
The Boston link could do with updating to point to the appropriate Boston article, but I'm not sure which it is. --John 23:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
i replaced Image:louisa_may_alcott_stamp.JPG with a new image. If someone would like to place the stamp image somewhere else in the article, please do. Kingturtle 00:01 22 May 2003 (UTC)
[edit] mercury poisoning
Alcott wrote through the rest of her life, finally succumbing to the aftereffects of mercury poisoning contracted during her Civil War service
This could benefit from some more explanation -- what was she doing during the war to contract mercury poisoning? Something to do with the treatment of syphilis perhaps? Flapdragon 7 July 2005 16:23 (UTC)
[edit] Dangerous for little minds?
The article says: 'and were later referred to as "dangerous for little minds" in Alcott's own novel Little Women' I have found no such a reference in the book (searching in the electronic text by "dangerous" or "minds").May be the sentence comes from another book?--Bradomín 12:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up!
This page needs to be cleaned up-- I don't have time now, but I'll check later if need be. Diimmortales 22:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bibliography and dates
I've cleaned up the bibliography - put it in chronological order, bracketed the dates, separated those she published under another name - I double checked everything on the web and yes before I'd realised it, I'd changed some of the dates. As far as I can find from my research, for some books there is no definitive date as it seems to skip between years depending on which reference source you use. So by all means change them back but I'm not sure what the point is. I also removed the direct links to the text of the books as these are covered in the external links section - where most of the books can be found online.
I've also added a general clean up tag to highlight the page to other editors Madmedea 20:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey i think this article is really factual about Louisa May Alcott's life.
