About the author
Born Mary Schell Hoke in Atchison, Kansas, on November 20, 1870, she became known professionally as Dolores Bacon and also wrote under the pseudonym Dolores Marbourg. Her career stretched across several fields: she worked as a writer and reporter, spent time on the stage as an actress, and wrote plays as well as books.
She is especially remembered for children's literature and for her reporting work with Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. That mix of journalism and creative writing gives her work an energetic, accessible quality that still feels appealing today.
For audiobook listeners, the name Dolores Marbourg is most closely tied to Juggernaut: A Veiled Record, a novel credited to George Cary Eggleston and Dolores Marbourg. She died on June 3, 1934, leaving behind a varied career that linked newspapers, theater, and popular literature.
