Nine years ago another book, Ruth and  the Green Book/ Calvin Alexander Ramsay (Juv..R1837r) introduced  the publication from a child's view. The notes in the back of the book  give the historical background. The author also has a website , https://greenbookchronicles.com/ with interviews and information about a play based on the book.
