Mary Alice Harriman (March 12, 1861 – December 24, 1925) was a poet, author (of poetry, novels, short stories and non-fiction) and publisher. [1] She was called the "only woman publisher in the world" in the 1911 Who's Who in the Northwest. [2] She published books in Seattle between 1907 and 1910, and in New York after that, closing her publishing business in 1913. [1]
She wrote A Man of Two Countries, Chaperoning Adrienne; a tale of the Yellowstone national park (illustrated by Charles M. Russell) and Will Thou Not Sing. [1]
The only year in which she used the name Harriman-Browne was in 1907 in her books, including the book about Chaperoning Adrienne. The next year, she started a publishing company, using only her maiden name, Harriman. In Seattle, on May 2, 1907, she married Seneca F. Browne.
She gave different marital statuses when asked to list whether married.
Alice was listed as single in the 1870 census (she was 9) and the 1880 census (she was 19). Most of the 1890 census was destroyed by fire. In the 1900 census and 1910 census, she is listed as divorced. In the 1920 census, as well as the Who's Who guides of 1911 and 1914, she is listed as widowed. Finally, on the Biographical Index Cards, 1781–1990, Sacramento, California: California State Library she is listed as widowed.
Harriman died in Hollywood, California, where she lived. [1]
Harriman began publishing books in 1907 in Seattle. [2] She continued there until 1910, moving her business to 542 Fifth Avenue, New York City. [3] Her company was the "Alice Harriman Company, publishers of fine books". [2]
Harriman was interested in Native American issues, and friend to Adelaide Hanscom Leeson, of the Photo Secessionist Movement. [1] One Native-American-themed book she published was The Brand by Therese Broderick. This girl's adventure book influenced a young Nez Perce girl living in rural Idaho to become one of the first female Native American writers. [4] That girl, Mourning Dove, wrote Cogewea. [4]
