Payne Erskine
Emma Payne Erskine (May 10, 1854 – March 4, 1924)〔(The Polk County News: "Funeral Service For Mrs. Corwin Held Today" )〕 was the author of several works of fiction around the turn of the 20th century, such as ''The Eye of Dread''〔(eText: "The Eye Of Dread" )〕 and ''The Mountain Girl''.〔(eText: "The Mountain Girl" )〕 She usually had a strong heroine figure, and her writing has been described as "genuinely American in feeling and treatment."〔(Chicago Tribune: Archives: "Among The New Books" )〕 She was a fairly popular writer of her genre during her time. For example: her romance novel, ''The Mountain Girl'', was a leading story in Ladies' Home Journal shortly after it was published.〔(The Pittsburgh Press: "Pittsburg Buildings in Magazine Review" )〕
==Early life==
In 1854, Erskine was born in Racine, Wisconsin, to Alfred Payne and Olive Child.〔 Alfred was an artist, which may have led to her portrayal of her main character's father in ''The Eye of Dread'' as an artist.〔 She seems to have let her personal life affect the characters and events in her stories quite often, actually. It is possible and likely that her childhood at the brunt of the United States Civil War effected her creation of certain stories which take place at that same time.〔 Being of both English and prominently American ancestry, her stories, such as ''The Mountain Girl'', seem to attempt to draw the two cultures together.〔
