Cora Stuart Wheeler

Cora Stuart Wheeler (pen name, Trebor Ohl; September 6, 1852 – March 10, 1897) was a 19th-century American poet and author.

It was during the civil war, as a girl in her father's committee-room at the Capitol, during President Lincoln's time, that ideas were formed which developed into her verse of later years.

Wheeler, a well-known literary worker and journalist in her day,[1] wrote verse, bits of humor, biographies, and racy, thrilling stories.

During the last year of the war, and, with a group of convent girls, she witnessed from a balcony the closing review of the Grand Army, whose ranks contained four of her brothers.

She edited the Yankee Blade at that time, and furnished largely the humor for the "Portfolio" of the American Magazine.

Those of her biographical sketches which appeared in the Daughters of America were to be collected for publication in book form, as were her short stories, "The Fardel's Christmas," "The Bings' Baby," "The White Arrow" and others.

[3] She lectured in Boston, Hartford and New York on "Authors Whom I Have Known," "Moravians As I Lived Among Them," "Cervantes," "Legends and Superstitions" and "Fallacies of Family Life.
