Autorenporträt

Mary Hartwell Catherwood was born to Marcus Hartwell and Pheba Thompson and became known as an American author focused on historical romances, short stories, and poetry. Raised in Ohio and later Illinois, she lost her parents young and was brought up by her maternal grandfather. At thirteen she earned a teacher s certificate and began teaching locally before enrolling at Granville Female College, completing her course in three years. After teaching and an early writing stint in Cincinnati, she married James Steele Catherwood, with whom she had a daughter, Hazel. They lived mainly in Hoopeston, Illinois, where her growing reputation led to the founding of a literary club in her honor. Her interest expanded to French colonial North America, and historian Francis Parkman praised her meticulous historical accuracy. She was part of the Western Association of Writers and supported fellow authors like James Whitcomb Riley. Near the end of her life, her novel Lazarre was adapted for the stage. She died in Chicago, remembered for enriching American historical fiction with authenticity and vivid local color.
