Sybil Downing and Jane Valentine Barker have won two Top Hand Awards from the Colorado Authors League and have coauthored two series of historical fiction and biographies for children and young adults.
Novelist Sybil Downing is chair of the Colorado State Board of Education. Jane Barker, novelist and historical columnist, frequently speaks on the writing of history for young adults. They both live in Boulder, Colorado.
This engaging biography by two Boulder (Colorado) women reveals a determined Renaissance woman equally at home nursing indigent typhoid patients, enjoying an audience with a king or braving the outdoor rigors of Galcier National Park in 1915.

This book is well written and absorbing.... Young women of today could do worse than to take Mary Roberts Rinehart as an example.
