Autorenporträt

Susan Arnold Elston Wallace was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana in 1830 to a wealthy and influential family. She married Lew Wallace in 1852, who would go on to serve as governor of the New Mexico Territory from 1878 to 1881. During his time in Santa Fe, he wrote the bestselling novel "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ," which has never been out of print. He also served as U.S. Minister to Turkey from 1881 to 1885. Susan published six books during her lifetime, including "The Land of the Pueblos," which collected her articles on the Southwest and featured illustrations by her husband. She published extensively in the literary magazines and newspapers of her era. Her other books are "Along the Bosphorus and Other Sketches," "The City of the King: What the Child Jesus Saw and Heard," "Ginevra, or The Old Oak Chest," "A Christmas Story," "The Repose in Egypt: A Medley," and "The Storied Sea." She died in 1907, two years after her husband, and they are buried together at Oak Hill Cemetery in Crawfordsville.
