Caroline Emilia Jacobs was an American author born in 1872 and died in 1909. Library and public-domain catalog records credit her with books including A Texas Blue Bonnet and The S. W. F. Club, and show that A Texas Blue Bonnet was published in 1910, shortly after her death.
Some records also connect her with the pseudonym Emilia Elliott, used on A Texas Blue Bonnet. Her work is remembered mainly through girls' fiction from the early 1900s, especially the Blue Bonnet stories, which helped keep her name in circulation long after her lifetime.
Reliable biographical detail beyond her dates and bibliography is limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to see her as a somewhat elusive figure whose reputation now rests on a small group of enduring juvenile novels.
