Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From Poems: With Biographical Sketches
Mary Bacon was a student in New York City for one year, graduating at Brooklyn Heights Seminary. The editor-of the publication which later became St. Nicholas Magazine, observing this intellectual girl on commencement day, called to see her and asked her to stay in New York and be on the magazine staff. She was then eighteen.
She returned to her home in Michigan, and four years later was married to Frederick Field. Their home was for seventeen years in the picturesque Vermont mountain town of East Dorset, birthplace of their six children. There came unspeakable tragedy in the death of three children in one month from typhoid fever.
