About the author
Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1849, Caroline Louise Marshall wrote fiction for young readers during the closing years of the 19th century. Records found during this search identify her as an American author, and her surviving books show a strong interest in girls' lives on the western frontier.
She is associated with novels including The Girl Ranchers of the San Coulee (1897) and Two Wyoming Girls and Their Homestead Claim (1899). These stories center on capable young women facing the practical and emotional challenges of ranching and homesteading, giving her work a lively blend of adventure and independence.
