Foote, Mary Hallock (1847–1938), New York‐born novelist, married a civil engineer (1876), and spent her later life in Colorado, Idaho, and California. Her stories of Western life include The Led‐Horse Claim (1883), The Chosen Valley (1892), and Cœur d'Alene (1894). Among her later works of fiction are Edith Bonham (1917) and Ground‐Swell (1919).
