DORA HILL READ GOODALE Staff<\/h2>\n

Teacher, 1913<\/h3>\n

Dora Hill Read Goodale\u00a0(1866-1953) came to Pine Mountain in 1913, its founding year.\u00a0When she came to the School\u00a0to teach,\u00a0she was forty-seven years old, a mature and knowledgeable teacher\u00a0and someone who had already found a national audience as a writer. Further, she was well positioned to reflect\u00a0on the life in the Southern Appalachians, as she had spent some time there in other educational environments and the neighboring community. Her poetry, often written in the mountain dialect,\u00a0opens a window into the lives of the people rural\u00a0Appalachia, in a manner that is both sensitive and penetrating. Her small book of poems, Mountain Dooryards<\/em>\u00a0[1946] has seen many reprints and is often included in anthologies of literature of the Southern Appalachians.<\/p>\n

DORA HILL READ GOODALE: Her Family and Education<\/h3>\n

She was born in 1866 in Mount Washington in the Berkshires of\u00a0New Hampshire on a farm called “Sky Farm” by the family. She came from a precocious and progressive Vermont family of writers, poets and naturalists and brought those talents to her teaching at the School. Her father, Henry S. Goodale\u00a0(1836-1906) and her mother Deborah (Dora) Read Goodale\u00a0were both published writers and poets.\u00a0Before\u00a0Dora had reached adolescence she and her sister, Elaine Goodale [Eastman] (1863-1953), had published\u00a0in national magazines and journals.<\/p>\n

Early marital issues\u00a0of her strong-minded parents led to\u00a0Dora’s departure for one year in a boarding school in New York City in 1881. Her parents separated in 1882 and she returned home to continue her home-schooling with her mother, who was a trained teacher. Her father went to New\u00a0York City where he ran the Windemere Hotel, a residence for “financially independent working women.”<\/p>\n

Shortly, Dora, who was then seventeen, moved with her mother and her three siblings to Redding, Connecticut, where Dora continued to write and publish. In 1887 the family moved again, this time to Northampton, Massachusetts, where Dora entered Smith\u00a0College.\u00a0Her\u00a0early contacts at Smith most likely contributed to her interest in Pine Mountain which had deep Smith College roots.<\/p>\n

At Smith, Dora chose art as her\u00a0concentration, graduated with\u00a0her degree in 1890. She had a three-year\u00a0engagement with Thomas Sanford, but never married apparently due to family obligations. In 1891 the family moved again, this time to a house in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father had built a retirement home, though he continued to live in New York.<\/p>\n

The stay at the Amherst cottage was also brought to an abrupt end by a fire that destroyed the home and most of the personal papers of Dora and her mother. The fire forced a return to Redding and the comfort of relatives. In Redding, Dora found work as a teacher at the Sanford School and worked as a tutor while caring for her ailing mother, Deborah. Her mother died in 1910.\u00a0(Smith College, Eastman-Goodale-Dayton Family Papers: 1861-2010<\/em>).<\/p>\n

DORA HILL READ GOODALE: PMSS and Later Life<\/h3>\n

In 1913, at the age of 47, Dora was recruited\u00a0to Pine Mountain Settlement School by Katherine Pettit <\/a>where she taught for a year. She retained her residence in Redding and continued to call it home until she accepted a full-time job as a secretary and hospital worker at Pleasant Hill Academy’s Upland Sanatorium in 1929. At first, she worked closely with the director, Dr. May Cravath\u00a0Wharton, and assisted in the promotional literature for the Sanatorium and later became the director of Upland. The stated mission of\u00a0the program was “to not simply heal disease but to establish habits of health and of thought, and send its patients out fortified for living a more victorious life.”\u00a0Again, this mission resonated with the work she engaged in at Pine Mountain.<\/p>\n

Her last published work at age 75 was Mountain Dooryards, <\/em>compiled\u00a0while she was working at Upland Sanatorium at Pleasant Hill Academy, a Tennessee school not unlike Pine Mountain Settlement School. It was during\u00a0her time in Tennessee and Kentucky that she wrote most of her Appalachian material, including Mountain Dooryards<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the late 1940s, her health began to fail and she went to live with her younger brother Robert in Virginia and was then transferred to a nursing home where she died in 1953 at the age of 87. Her death on December 12, 1953, preceded her sister Elaine’s death on the 22nd of December by only ten days.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Flight of the Heart<\/strong>
\nBy Dora Read Goodale<\/p>\n

The heart\u00a0soars up like a bird<\/em>
\n From a nest of care;<\/em>
\n Up, up to a larger sky,<\/em>
\n To a softer air.<\/em>
\n No eye can measure its flight<\/em>
\n And no hand can tame;<\/em>
\n It mounts in beauty and light,<\/em>
\n In music and flame.<\/em>
\n Of all the changes of Time<\/em>
\n There is none like this;<\/em>
\n The heart soars up like a bird<\/em>
\n At the stroke of bliss.<\/em>
\n The heart soars up like a bird,<\/em>
\n But its wings soon tire;<\/em>
\n Enough of rapture and song,<\/em>
\n The cloud and the fire!<\/em>
\n Its look, the look of a king\u2014<\/em>
\n Of a slave, its birth,<\/em>
\n The poor, tired, impotent thing<\/em>
\n Sinks back to the earth.<\/em>
\n And the mother spreads her lap,<\/em>
\n And she lulls its pain:<\/em>
\n \u201cOh, thou who sighed for the sun,<\/em>
\n Art thou mine again?”*<\/em><\/p>\n
