About the author
Martha Lewis Beckwith Ewell was an American author born in 1841 and deceased in 1902. Library and public-domain records connect her with novels including The Harvest of Years, Blue Ribbons, and Lovette; or, The Work of an Honest Heart.
Her work appears to have been aimed at general readers and reflects the domestic and values-centered fiction that was popular in the late 1800s. The Harvest of Years is the title most easily found today, which has helped keep her name in circulation for modern readers of classic fiction.
Clear biographical details beyond her dates and published works are limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview keeps to the basics that are well supported.
