This article still needs some filling out with more biographical details and information about her contributions to Transcendentalism. Check back for more updates in the next couple weeks as I work on this article with a few other Caroline Sturgis scholars. An emersonian (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Updates to article from Sturgis's latest biographer, Kathy Lawrence edit

The revised, now correct birth dates that I have supplied all come from the family Bible in Barnstable, at the Sturgis Library, carefully inscribed by Sturgis’ grandparents and parents. An emersonian (talk) 20:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm not certain that any of the information cited to the family Bible qualifies due to WP:RS. Note the line in this official policy, "Unpublished materials are not considered reliable." I assume this is at least in part due to the difficulty with verification. --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:02, 29 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
