About Samuel Charles Stowe

Harriet called her toddler Charley, “my sunshine child.” Charley died when he was 18 months during a Cincinnati cholera epidemic. Stowe was devastated. She said later her grief helped her empathize with enslaved families separated at the auction block. Her grief at Charley’s death fueled her descriptions of children and families in Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
