Margaret A. (Margaret Alice) Richard

Margaret A. Richard, listed in library records as Margaret Alice Richard and born in 1870, was an American author whose surviving published work appears to center on poetry. Reliable catalog and ebook records confirm her authorship of Darkey Ways in Dixie and Virginia Vaughn: A Romance in Verse, both now preserved through major digital-library projects.

Because biographical information about her is scarce in the sources available, not much can be said with confidence about her life beyond those publication records. What does come through clearly is that she was an early-20th-century writer whose work has remained accessible through public-domain archives, giving modern readers a chance to encounter verse that reflects the literary tastes and social attitudes of its era.
