About the author

Ellen L. Anderson is credited as the author of Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia, a historical work preserved by Project Gutenberg. The book focuses on Salona, a long-standing estate in Fairfax County, and traces its ownership, setting, and significance across generations.

Based on the available source material, Anderson appears in the record primarily through this book, which has remained accessible through public-domain and library-style listings. The surviving descriptions consistently present her as a writer of local or regional history, with a special interest in Virginia's past.

Little biographical information about her life has been easy to confirm from reliable public sources, so the strongest picture comes from the work itself: careful, place-centered, and rooted in historical research.
