Virginia Carter Castleman

Virginia Carter Castleman was an American writer active in the early 1900s. The clearest details I could confirm are tied to her poem Pocahontas, which was published in 1907 and is now preserved by the Library of Congress and Project Gutenberg.

Because reliable biographical information about her appears to be scarce online, it is safer not to overstate the details of her life. What can be said is that her name remains associated with a historical, book-length poem that continued to attract enough interest to be digitized and made widely available to modern readers.

For readers exploring older American verse and rediscovered public-domain authors, Castleman is one of those figures known more through the survival of the work than through an extensively documented public biography.
