A school teacher, editor,
writer, and a literary critic, Kirkland was an early realist living
during the high point of American romanticism. Transported to the
frontier, she has realistically portrayed the life, manners, and
hardships of the frontier experience in A New Home - Who'll
Follow? and Forest Life.
