| Abstract
|
:
|
"Devoted wife and mother. Acclaimed novelist, illustrator, and interpreter of the American West. At a time when society expected women to concentrate on family and hearth, Mary Hallock Foote (1847-1938) published twelve novels, four short story collections, almost two dozen stories and essays, and innumerable illustrations. In Mary Hallock Foote, Darlis A. Miller examines the life of this gifted and spirited woman from the East as she adapted herself and her artistic vision to the West."--Jacket.
