About the author
Maud Wilder Goodwin was an American author born in Ballston Spa, New York, in 1856 and best known for historical fiction, biography, and popular histories centered on colonial and early American life.
Her work often explored the atmosphere, customs, and personalities of earlier eras, and she wrote books such as The Colonial Cavalier, Dutch and English on the Hudson, and a biography of Dolley Madison. That mix of narrative energy and historical curiosity helped make her writing appealing to general readers as well as history-minded ones.
She died in New York City in 1935. A suitable verified portrait image was not clearly available from the pages I checked, so no profile image is included here.
