About the author

Very little verified biographical information about this author is easy to confirm online, but surviving library and public-domain records show that Lucia Chase Bell was active as a writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

She is credited on Obil, Keeper of Camels, published in San Francisco by Paul Elder & Company in 1910, and she also appears among the contributors to All the World Over: Interesting Stories of Travel, Thrilling Adventure and Home Life, a collection now available through Project Gutenberg.

What stands out in the work that remains is its range: one title is framed as a spiritual parable, while another points to travel, adventure, and home-life storytelling for general readers. Because reliable personal records are scarce, her published books tell us more clearly than biographies do.
