Over the Border: Acadia, the Home of "Evangeline"
by Eliza B. (Eliza Brown) Chase
About the author
Eliza B. Chase, also published as Eliza Brown Chase, wrote travel books that focused on place, atmosphere, and regional story. Verified catalog and public-domain sources connect her with works including Over the Border: Acadia, the Home of "Evangeline" and In Quest of the Quaint.
Her writing appears to center on literary travel and cultural observation rather than fiction alone. Over the Border explores Acadia and the world associated with Longfellow's "Evangeline," while In Quest of the Quaint was published in 1902 and was illustrated by Chase herself from watercolor and pencil sketches, suggesting she was also an artist as well as a writer.
Little easily confirmed biographical information seems to survive online beyond her publications, so a fuller personal timeline is hard to state with confidence. What does come through clearly is her interest in landscape, history, and the character of the places she visited, which gives her books an inviting, old-fashioned travel-chronicler charm.
