Katharine Hopkins Chapman dating history

Details

Katharine Hopkins Chapman (née, Hopkins; pen name, Katharine Hope; March 4, 1870/72/73 - May 21, 1930) was an author and historian of the American South. Born in the antebellum atmosphere of Selma, transplanted to the booming time of Anniston in its infancy, grafted by marriage into the crude conditions of Bessemer's early days, a frequent visitor to Mobile and Montgomery, Chapman was well equipped to delineate Alabama characters and scenes, and in her stories she depicted life among the well-to-do American Southern people, her first writings being signed "Katharine Hope" in deference for her father's scruples against a woman's name appearing in print except at her marriage or death. By 1921, she had published 89 short stories in leading magazines. A short memoir appeared in The Editor in 1913.
