She was a writer and activist in the temperance movement. She was also a crusader against tobacco. As a young woman in Fond du lac Wisconsin where her father was a missionary to the Oneida people she reached out to the Oneida children. Colman was co-author with Matilda G. Thompson of "The Child's anti-slavery book: containing a few words about American slave children, and stories of slave life". The copyright is that of Carlton & Porter who published a series of children's chap-books for the Sunday School Union of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The temperance story at hand is most probably a work in that series. RARE. Good .
