author
Best known as the co-author of a lively 1913 ranch adventure for young readers, this early 20th-century writer left behind a small but memorable place in American juvenile fiction.

by Grace MacGowan Cooke, Anne McQueen
Anne McQueen is credited as the co-author of The Girls of Silver Spur Ranch, a juvenile novel published in 1913 with Grace MacGowan Cooke. Library and public-domain records consistently list both women as authors of the book, which follows life on a Texas ranch and has remained available through archives such as Project Gutenberg and the Library of Congress.
Very little verified biographical information about McQueen appears to be widely available online. Because the surviving public records found here focus almost entirely on the book itself rather than her life, it seems safest to remember her chiefly through that collaboration and its lasting readership.
Her work is tied to a warm, adventurous style of storytelling that blends family life, resilience, and Western setting—qualities that still make the novel appealing to readers interested in classic girls' fiction.
