Agnes Christina Laut (11 February 1871 – 15 November 1936) was a Canadian journalist, novelist, historian, and social worker.

She also worked as an editorial writer at the Manitoba Free Press from 1895 to 1897, after which she took two years off to travel the continent from Atlantic to Pacific,[9] paying her way with articles contributed to periodicals.

After performing research for this and possible follow-on writings, Laut noted the paucity of information covering Canadian history.

[10] Between 1900 and 1931, she wrote two dozen books, mainly the topics of the evolution of Canadian territory, the history of Montana, and settlers traveling the Santa Fe Trail.

[10] In 1919, she served as secretary for the Childhood Conservation League, a philanthropic organization intended to help children left homeless following the Mexican Revolution.
