About the author
Louise Hasbrouck Zimm was an American author and editor born in 1883. Library and catalog records identify her as the author of books including Insect Adventures, Israel Putnam ("Old Put"), Mexico, from Cortes to Carranza, and The Hall with Doors, and as the editor of the 1946 history Southeastern New York.
Her work ranged widely across juvenile nonfiction, biography, fiction, and historical writing. That mix suggests a writer who was comfortable both telling stories and organizing large amounts of historical material for general readers.
She was also connected to the Woodstock, New York, artistic world through her marriage in 1919 to sculptor Bruno Zimm. No reliably confirmed portrait image was found during this search, so no profile image is included.
