The Young Maiden

About the author
Born in 1802, Artemas Bowers Muzzey was an American author and Unitarian clergyman associated with New England. Records available online identify him as a Harvard graduate who later studied at the divinity school, and as a minister who served congregations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire before retiring from active parish work.
Alongside his ministry, he wrote extensively for general readers. His books include The Young Maiden and Reminiscences and Memorials of Men of the Revolution and Their Families, showing the range of his interests from moral and religious instruction to biographical and historical writing.
Muzzey died in 1892. The surviving catalog and archive records suggest a writer remembered less for one single famous title than for a steady body of thoughtful 19th-century work shaped by faith, education, and an interest in the people who formed early American history.
