Margaret Jewett Smith Bailey
Margaret Jewett Smith Bailey (1812?–1882) was an American pioneer, missionary, and author from Oregon.
Bailey, using the pen name Ruth Rover, wrote one of the earliest literary works published in Oregon, ''The Grains, or, Passages in the Life of Ruth Rover, with Occasional Pictures of Oregon, Natural and Moral''.〔 According to historian Edwin Bingham in the foreword to the 1986 edition, ''Grains'' is "part autobiography, part religious testimonial, part history and travelogue", but "by stretching the definition, ''The Grains'' may be called a novel, the first novel written and published on the Pacific coast."〔
==Early life==
Margaret Jewett Smith was born in Saugus, Massachusetts in about 1812. She converted to Methodism when she was 17 at a camp meeting. She attended the Methodist Episcopal Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraham over the objections of her family, especially her father, who wished for her to care for him in his old age and who threatened to disown her. She hoped she could become a missionary teacher among the Native Americans.
