| biography:
| Writer, born near Springfield, Illinois, USA. A Californian from childhood until her death, she lived after 1865 in San Francisco, where she was Bret Harte's co-editor on Overland Monthly. Thirty years a librarian, she published three volumes of distinctively simple lyrical verse (1881–95) that were to earn her selection as the state's first poet laureate (1915). |
