Breckenridge Ellis is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the life of Mattie Myers, tracing her journey from a frail girl in Kentucky to a significant figure, delving into her ambitions, educational pursuits, and influences. It explores themes of determination, faith, and the historical context of her life during turbulent times. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to young Mattie Myers, who is depicted as a thoughtful and serious child, grappling with personal loss and a deep desire for companionship. Born into wealth yet plagued by loneliness after the death of her mother and siblings, Mattie finds solace in education and the company of dolls she uses as students. Her father's consent to allow her to live with her brother Joe marks a pivotal moment, as she begins her formal education. The opening chapters illustrate the foundation of her character, her resolve to become a teacher, and the strong influence of her family's educational values against the backdrop of a shifting societal landscape, setting the stage for her future endeavors and the unfolding of her life’s story.
