AUGUSTA JANE WILSON
(née Evans), novelist.
Georgia has some claim to the fame of this gifted lady; for it
was in Columbus, Georgia, that she first saw the light, May 8,
1835. Her father moved from Georgia to San Antonio, Texas,
where the family resided two years and then returned East and in
1849 made their home in Mobile, Alabama. She died in New
Orleans, Louisiana, May 9, 1909. During the war between
the states she was devoted in her ministrations to Confederate
soldiers and an encampment near Mobile was named "Camp Beulah"
after the novel which first established her fame. Her
first novel was "Inez, Tale of the Alamo." Her other works
are "Beulah," "Macaria," "St. Elmo," "Vashti," "Infelice," "At
the Mercy Of Tiberius," "A Speckled Bird," and "Devota."
