Mary Lee Settle (1918–2005)
I am hard at work on Mary Lee Settle’s (1918-2005) literary biography, under contract with West Virginia University Press.
Settle was a native of my hometown, Charleston, WV. Winner of the 1978 National Book Award,
Author of fourteen novels, four memoirs, award winning short stories, and dozens of essays, Settle is perhaps best remembered for her The Beulah Quintet, five volumes of historic fiction about the first white settlers in West Virginia.
