by Therese Broderick
Therese Broderick was an American author listed by Project Gutenberg as Therese Broderick, 1870–1958. She is known for The Brand: A Tale of the Flathead Reservation, a novel set in Montana that follows a young woman entering life on the frontier.
The book was published in the early 20th century and centers on ranch life, travel west, and encounters shaped by the social attitudes of its time. Today, Broderick is remembered mainly through this surviving work, which offers readers a window into popular Western fiction of her period.
Very little biographical information about her was easy to confirm from reliable online sources beyond her dates and authorship of The Brand. That makes her one of those writers whose legacy now rests more on the book itself than on a well-documented public life.
