Bertha E. (Bertha Evangeline) Bush

Born on May 30, 1866, Bertha Evangeline Bush was an American teacher and author. Reliable catalog and library sources connect her with children's and educational writing, and LibriVox's author note describes her as a teacher who published a novel along with many articles for school journals and youth organizations.

Bush is remembered today for books including Stories of Robin Hood, Story of Lafayette, and An Afternoon with Eugene Field, the Children's Poet. Her writing shows a clear interest in making history, literature, and well-loved legends accessible to younger readers.

She died on June 2, 1920, in Chicago, Illinois, and was buried in Garner, Iowa. A clear, confirmed portrait image could not be found from the pages reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
