[edit]I was trying to find anything notable for The Forbidden Tree and came across a few things specific to the author:
- I found an article in the Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine that gives some biographical notes and background on this writer, in the context of her book about Willa Cather, "These Too Were Here": https://journals.psu.edu/wph/article/download/3762/3580
- Also, letters from Cather to Moorhead: http://www.worldcat.org/title/autograph-letters-signed-9-and-typed-letter-signed-1-to-elizabeth-moorhead-vermorcken/oclc/270863365 and https://cather.unl.edu/letters.html?_person=Vermorcken%2C%20Elizabeth%20Moorhead and https://cather.unl.edu/letters.html?_person=Hitler%2C%20Adolf
- Her grandfather was a Congressman from Pittsburgh, re https://www.abaa.org/blog/post/Carnegie-Library-Theft-index
- Possible genealogy: Mother: Emily Butler Black Moorhead, born 1844 Father: William Jefferson Moorhead, iron manufacturer; Elizabeth B. Moorhead Vermorcken had six siblings
- Also, her book *Whirling Spindle.[1] is a cited as a ref on the Samuel W. Black article.
