About the author
Born in 1859 and later listed as Cora Marsland (1859–1944), she is remembered today mainly through her surviving books and archival traces. Project Gutenberg credits her as the author of The Angel of the Gila: A Tale of Arizona, and also lists Interpretive Reading among her works.
The available record suggests a writer with strong ties to education as well as literature. A Wellesley College Archives entry names her, and the existence of Interpretive Reading points to professional interests in reading and instruction, not only fiction.
Although detailed biographical information appears limited, her work still offers a glimpse of an early-20th-century American voice drawn to moral purpose, teaching, and Western settings. She remains a small but interesting figure for listeners who enjoy rediscovered authors from that era.
