Remembered for a richly detailed study of Acoma Pueblo life, this early 20th-century writer brought together history, observation, and a strong sense of place. Her surviving published work suggests a deep interest in the American Southwest and its cultural traditions.

About the author
Mary Katrine Rice Sedgwick, who published as Mrs. William T. Sedgwick, was an American writer born in 1859 and died in 1928. The name is linked in library and book records to Ácoma, the Sky City: A Study in Pueblo-Indian History and Civilization, a book first published in 1926.
That work focuses on the history and culture of Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. From the book's framing and catalog descriptions, she appears to have written with a documentary, research-minded approach rather than as a novelist, aiming to introduce readers to the community's history, traditions, and setting.
Reliable biographical information about her is limited in the sources I could confirm during this search, so many personal details remain unclear. I could confirm her fuller name, her pen name, and the dates 1859–1928, but not enough to safely add more without guessing.
