Summary
Mainly Catherwood's outgoing correspondence, and manuscript and published works, 1874-1902. Also a few incoming letters, diaries, notebooks, notes for stories, clippings, photographs, and some later miscellaneous material relating to her life and career. Catherwood's letters are mainly written to her aunt, Harriet H. DeVault, to a friend, Eleanor Ruthrauff, and to her husband, James Steele Catherwood. Her incoming correspondence includes two original letters from Sir John George Bourinot and Otis Skinner, and copies of letters from James Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Field. The three notebooks contain jottings, ideas for writing and miscellaneous notes. There is also a small diary kept on an 1891 ocean voyage, some recipes, photographs of Catherwood (ca. 1902) and Otis Skinner (1902), and a copy of a Thomas Nast drawing.
Biographical/Historical Note
Writer of romantic historical novels and short stories. Born in Ohio in 1847, Mary Hartwell Catherwood spent most of her life in small Midwestern towns and finally settled in Chicago shortly before her death in 1902. She wrote historical romances, both short stories and novels, most of which were based in the towns of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois or in colonial French Canada.
