About the author
Very little biographical information appears to be widely available for this author beyond the basic catalog listing Mary B. Arbuckle, born 1886. That scarcity makes her one of those writers known mostly through the work itself rather than a well-documented public life.
Her best-confirmed surviving work is The man from Oregon, originally published in New York by The McCall Company in 1930 and produced from the March 1930 issue of McCall's Magazine. Catalog and ebook records identify it as a short story with western themes, centered on ranch life and relationships in the American Southwest.
Project Gutenberg also lists Mary Arbuckle Fisher as an alias, though without further detail on that name. Since so little else could be confirmed from reliable sources in this search, it is safest to remember her as an obscure American fiction writer whose work preserves a vivid slice of magazine-era western storytelling.
