About the author

Born Mary Bradford in 1844, she was an American novelist and the daughter of writer Sarah Hopkins Bradford. She published as Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield, a name that appears on her books and in later reference works.

She is known for fiction such as Where the Trade-Wind Blows: West Indian Tales and other novels connected with travel, society, and everyday relationships. The surviving reference material on her is fairly brief, but it consistently identifies her as an American author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

She died in 1913. Because biographical information is limited and scattered, many modern listings preserve only a short record of her life and publications rather than a full personal biography.
