About the author

Isabel Graham Bush is credited as the co-author, with Florence Lilian Bush, of Goose Creek Folks: A Story of the Kentucky Mountains, published in 1912 by Fleming H. Revell Company.

Reliable online records are quite sparse, and that scarcity shapes what can be said with confidence. Project Gutenberg and other catalog listings consistently connect her name with Goose Creek Folks, but I could not confirm broader biographical details such as birth and death dates, hometown, or a larger bibliography.

What does come through clearly is the character of the book itself: a story rooted in Kentucky mountain life and interested in community, learning, and everyday struggle. Since verifiable information about the author is limited, her literary identity is best understood through that novel and its enduring availability in digital archives.
