About the author
Born Nora Bryant McCue in Ottumwa, Iowa, on February 19, 1880, she later became known as Honoré Willsie Morrow. She studied history at the University of Wisconsin and went on to build a career as both a fiction writer and editor.
Her early travels across the United States with her first husband gave her rich material for stories set in the American West and beyond. She also served as editor of The Delineator, and her books ranged from contemporary and regional fiction to carefully researched historical novels.
Many readers know her best for the Lincoln-centered trilogy Forever Free, With Malice Toward None, and The Last Full Measure. She died in New Haven, Connecticut, on April 12, 1940, leaving behind a body of work that blended strong storytelling with a deep interest in American history.
