Julia Caroline Dorr

Who was Julia Caroline Dorr?

Julia Caroline Dorr was an American author who published both prose and poetry. She was born at Charleston, South Carolina, but moved early in her life to New York City, then to Rutland, Vermont. There she married Hon. Seneca M. Dorr. Her half-brothers were Edward H. Ripley and William Y. W. Ripley, both prominent officers in the American Civil War. Her earliest published writings appeared in 1848. She wrote:

Isabel Leslie

Farmingdale

Lanmere

Sybil Huntingdon

Expiation

Bermuda

The Flower of England's Face

A Cathedral Pilgrimage

In King's Houses

Mrs. Dorr is best known, however, for volumes of thoughtful verse. A collected edition of her poems appeared in 1892.
