Louisa Watson Peat

The family lived for a period in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where their third child, Elizabeth "Betty" Peat, was born.

During the 1920s Louisa and Harold Peat traveled around North America on the Redpath Chatauqua Circuit with their growing family.

Archives at the University of Iowa contain programs and advertisements of their lectures which were mainly concerned with ensuring peace and promoting democracy.

In the late 1930s or early 1940s, Louisa Watson Small Peat moved to New York City to continue her writing career.

During that time, she was editing and ghost writing for various authors, including Sydney Robert Montague, and Fulton Oursler.
