Did Sarah Josepha Hale write"Mary's Little Lamb,"the eternal nursery rhyme(儿歌)about a girl named Mary with a stubborn lamb?This is still disputed,but it's clear that the woman 26 for writing it was one of America's most fascinating 27.In honor of the poem's publication on May 24,1830,here's more about the 28 author's life.

Hale wasn't just a writer,she was also a 29 social advocate,and she was particularly 30 with an ideal New England,which she associated with abundant Thanksgiving meals that she claimed had"a deep moral influence."She began a nationwide 31 to have a national holiday declared that would bring families together while celebrating the 32 festivals.In 1863,after 17 years of advocacy including letters to five presidents,Hale got it.President Abraham Lincoln,during the Civil War,issued a 33 setting aside the last Thursday in November for the holiday.

The true authorship of"Mary's Little Lamb"is disputed.According to the New England Historical Society,Hale wrote only part of the poem,but claimed authorship.Regardless of the author,it seems that the poem was 34 by a real event.When young Mary Sawyer was followed to school by a lamb in 1816,it caused some problems.A bystander named John Roulstone wrote a poem about the event,then,at some point,Hale herself seems to have helped write it.However,if a 1916 piece by her great-niece is to be trusted,Hale claimed for the 35 of her life that"some other people pretended that someone else wrote the poem".

Sarah Josepha Hale写过“玛丽的小羔羊,”永恒的童谣（儿歌）是一个叫玛丽的女孩与一个顽固的羔羊，这一点仍有争议，但很明显，因为写这本书而获奖的女性是美国最迷人的作家之一。为了纪念这首诗在1830年5月24日出版，这里有更多关于这位28位作者的生活。

黑尔不仅是一名作家，她还是一名29岁的社会倡导者，尤其是30岁的她有着理想中的新英格兰，她把它与丰盛的感恩节大餐联系在一起，并声称这对她有“深刻的道德影响”。她开始在全国范围内设立一个全国性的节日，宣布在庆祝这32个节日的同时，家庭团聚。1863年，经过了17年的倡导，包括给五位总统的信件，黑尔得到了这份工作。美国总统亚伯拉罕•林肯（Abraham Lincoln）在内战期间发布了一份33份的公告，将11月的最后一个星期四定为感恩节。

《玛丽的小羊羔》的真正作者尚存争议。根据新英格兰历史协会的说法，黑尔只写了诗的一部分，但声称是作者。不管作者是谁，这首诗似乎是由一件真实事件写成的。1816年，年轻的玛丽•索亚（Mary Sawyer）被一只小羊羔尾随上学，这引起了一些问题。一个名叫John Roulstone的旁观者写了一首关于这件事的诗，然后，在某种程度上，Hale自己似乎也帮助写了这首诗。然而，如果她的侄孙女在1916年创作的一首诗值得信赖的话，那么在她生命中的35年里，黑尔声称“有些人假装这首诗是别人写的”。
