Friends! A colleague and I are leading a group of 8 students on an archival adventure: scouring 17th-C records for everything Anne Bradstreet with the lofty goal of finding her burial site. Will create walking tour app of our findings. Follow our progress @WhereAreYouAnne

[Finding Anne Bradstreet @WhereAreYouAnne]

We are group of research fellows and professors from Merrimack College searching for the unknown grave site of America's first poet Anne Bradstreet. We have just started our search to find Anne and we will be sending out updates daily of our progress.

[Finding Anne Bradstreet @WhereAreYouAnne]

The Fire, Air, Earth and water did contest
Which was the strongest, noblest and the best,
Who was of greatest use and might'est force;
In placide Terms they thought now to discourse,
That in due order each her turn should speak;
But enmity this amity did break

[Finding Anne Bradstreet @WhereAreYouAnne]
