Mary Newmarch Prescott

Mary Newmarch Prescott (1849–1888) was an American author and poet who became known as a popular magazine-writer in the 19th century. She contributed hundreds of sketches and poems to publications such as Our Young Folks and the periodicals of Scribner and Harper, and was the author of Matt's Follies, a juvenile tale, and Poems (1912). Prescott was born in Maine, and moved with her family to Massachusetts, where she spent most of her life. Her literary work reflects both her early start in writing and her focus on stories and poetry for young readers.
