G. Estabrook is the pen name used by composer and singer Caroline Augusta "Gussie" Clowry (October 23, 1845 – April 18, 1897), whose opera ''The Joust'' was the first opera by an American woman to be published.〔Kirk, Erika Kuhl. ''American Opera''. Champaign, IL: University of Illinois Press, 2001: p. 110〕 With musical talent from an early age, "Gussie" had many songs published throughout her life, one of which "reached the extraordinary sale of over one million copies."〔''Philadelphia Inquirer'', April 19, 1897〕

Born on October 23, 1845, in Geneva, Wisconsin,〔Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Salt Lake Temple. ''Sealings for the dead, couples and children (includes some living spouses and children) 1943-1970; heir indexes, 1943-1965''. film #457918. () A "marriage" search for "caroline augustine clowry" brings an online record of that found on microfilm reel 457918〕 she was the only daughter of General Experience Estabrook and Caroline Augusta Maxwell. She had one brother, Henry Dodge, who was nine years younger.〔1860 Census Records, Omaha City, Douglas County, Nebraska〕 In January 1855, General Experience Estabrook moved with his family to Omaha, Nebraska after being appointed United States Attorney by President Franklin Pierce.〔() An online version of ''Omaha Illustrated,'' published in January 1888.〕 In 1860, at the age of 15, she met Colonel Robert Charles Clowry (b. Sept. 8, 1838; d. Feb. 26, 1925) of Chicago,〔() This is a website of gravestones throughout the country which often provide dates of those buried.〕 the superintendent of the Missouri and Western Union Telegraph Company. They were wed five years later, on August 29, 1865, in Omaha, Nebraska.〔Estabrook, William Booth. ''Genealogy of the Estabrook Family, Including the Esterbrook and Easterbrooks in the United States''. Ithaca, NY: Andrus & Church, 1891: pg. 135. ''World-Herald; Omaha'', June 8, 1904〕 By 1879, the couple had moved to St. Louis before settling in Chicago.〔''Chicago Daily Tribune'', Jan. 26, 1879〕 In 1882, the first production of "The Joust" was performed in her home town of Omaha, with her mother and brother both performing major roles.〔''The Herald: Omaha'' June 23, 1882〕 In 1885, the Chicago Music Company published the complete opera, making it the first opera by an American woman to be published.〔Kirk, Erika Kuhl. ''American Opera''. Champaign, IL: University of Illinois Press, 2001: p. 110.〕 The opera, however, was written five years earlier when "Gussie" held a local contest for a story she could base an opera upon. Her younger brother, Henry, submitted the story of ''The Joust'' and won. For the 1882 production, Henry reworked the plot and largely changed the libretto. The work is, therefore, a joint effort between the two siblings.〔''The Herald; Omaha'', June 23, 1882〕
By 1896, her health was fading, and so she spent a summer abroad in Europe with her mother and friends in the hopes that her health would recover.〔''World-Herald; Omaha'', Feb. 28, 1896〕 It did not, and she died in Lincoln, Nebraska, from apoplectic paralysis on April 18, 1897. She was survived by her husband, brother, and both parents.〔''Philadelphia Inquirer'', April 19, 1897〕
