Sophia Alice Callahan
Sophia Alice Callahan (1 January 1868 - 7 January 1894) was a Muscogee novelist and educator. Her novel, ''Wynema, A Child of the Forest'' is thought "to be the first novel written by a Native American woman" and may have been "the first novel written in Oklahoma", which was at the time Indian Territory.
==Biography==
Callahan was born in Sulphur Springs, Texas in 1868, to a part-Muscogee father and white mother. Her father, Samuel Benton Callahan, who was one-eighth Muscogee-Creek was the editor of the ''Indian Journal'', served in the Confederate Congress and was an officer in the Confederate States Army. Her mother was Sarah Elizabeth Thornberg.〔 The family had fled to Sulphur Springs during the American Civil War, but at the end of the Civil War returned to their home in Okmulgee, Indian Territory.
Qualified in grammar, arithmetic, physics, geography and history, having studied for nearly a year at the Wesleyan Female Institute in Staunton, Virginia, Callahan subsequently taught at several different boarding schools in the Creek Nation of Indian Territory. She worked at
Wealaka Mission School in 1892-3, and at Harrell Institute in Muskogee in late 1893, where she wrote for its associated journal, ''Our Brother in Red''. Her last position was as an official at the Indian Mission Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, where she was working at the time of her death from pleurisy at just 26 in January 1894.
