About the author
Alice Prescott Smith was an American author active in the early twentieth century. The sources I could confirm reliably identify her as the author of novels including Off the Highway (1904), The Legatee (1905), and Montlivet (1906), all of which appear in major library and public-domain records.
Very little widely available biographical detail survives online, which gives her work a slightly rediscovered feel today. What can be said with confidence is that her fiction has remained accessible through catalog records and digitized editions, allowing new readers to find a writer whose books sit at the edge of being lost and being found again.
Some secondary sources also list her life dates as 1868–1930, but because detailed biographical documentation was limited in the materials I found, those details should be treated with caution.
