Botsford, Margaret (b 1790?: Hollis)

A novelist, poet, and journalist, she published first as "a lady of Philadelphia" in 1816 but subsequently lived in other parts of the country--Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, Maryland. She may already have been a widow when she published an anonymous political dialogue, The Reign of Reform, in 1830, but she was still active in literature and politics in 1860 and 1861 when two short poems written on behalf of The Constitutional Union Party were attributed on their title-pages to Mrs. Russel Botsford, author of The Reign of Reform.
