Autor

Anna Maynard Barbour, an American author of best-selling fiction, was born in Mansfield, New York, in the 19th century to Fayette Barbour and Jane E. Cutler. After the early loss of her parents, she moved to Helena, Montana, in the late 19th century, where she worked for the U.S. Government. In 1893, she married an English gentleman who supported and encouraged her writing career. Barbour gained recognition for her contributions to literature, particularly for her mystery works, and was hailed as one of the most successful American mystery writers. One of her notable works, The Award of Justice; Or, Told in the Rockies: A Pen Picture of the West (1897), is a significant part of her literary output. In 1907, she became an Episcopal deaconess at the House of Mercy in Boston, where she continued her work in both Boston and Tennessee. Barbour's writing reflected her deep interest in the human experience and the challenges of life in both urban and frontier settings. She passed away on May 10, 1941, leaving behind a legacy of literary achievements.
