Miss Gitty 1860: Romance and Adventures in old New York. Gertrude "Miss Gitty" Tredwell's tale is set just before the Civil War when a young lady was not permitted to walk across a ballroom without an escort. Tredwell family lore has it that prosperous merchant Seabury Tredwell disapproved of the Irish Doctor his youngest daughter Gitty, fell in love with. I imagined Gitty's quest for love took her from the orphan's House of Refuge to New York's glittering mansions. She collides with villains and victims to join her suitor. A vanished New York comes alive again in this tale of a proper young lady intent on escaping her parlor prison to follow her heart. Miss Gitty lived a privileged life. She outlived her siblings and inheritance and died in the bed she was born in. Her family home is now the landmarked Merchant's House Museum-the only 19th Century home in New York City preserved intact as if the family never left. The house holds secrets and is reputed to be haunted. Visit the Merchant's House Museum at 29 East 4th treet. Climb the steep steps, ring the bell and enter into the past. You just might meet the Tredwells.
