[6] Morrow received her collegiate training in the writing of English at the University of Wisconsin (BA, 1902), where she won a local reputation for her work on college magazines.
[6] The desert trip was supplemented by long periods in the mining districts, the mountains, and the Northwestern dairy region.
[8] "I took the job [as editor of The Delineator] because, while I was perfectly happy in what I was doing, earning a more or less uneven and precarious living as a writer of fiction, after thinking it over for a long time it seemed to me that it presented a great opportunity to an American."
[4] Her other books included, Lydia of the Pines, Benefits Forgot, The Forbidden Trail, The Enchanted Canyon, Judith of Godless Valley, The Exile of the Lariat, The Devonshers, and The Lost Speech of Abraham Lincoln.
[4] For Harper's Weekly and Collier's, she wrote a number of special articles on the problems of divorce, immigration, and the Reclamation Service.
