About the author
Mary Stewart Daggett was an American author born in 1856 and active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Available records connect her with Ohio early in life and later with Pasadena, California, where she lived with her family after her marriage to Charles Stewart Daggett.
Her known books include Mariposilla (1895), The Broad Aisle (1899), The Higher Court (1911), and The Yellow Angel (1914). The range of those titles shows her interest in both regional settings and emotionally serious fiction, and modern reprints have helped keep some of her work in circulation.
Some biographical details differ across sources, including her exact birth date, but the dates 1856–1922 are consistently associated with her. A confirmed portrait was not readily available from the sources reviewed.
