Honoré Willsie Morrow (née, McCue; February 19, 1880 – April 12, 1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, as well as a magazine editor. Traveling to every state of the Union with her first husband, she used these experiences as background for her writing. Morrow is remembered for what became known as The Great Captain trilogy centered upon Abraham Lincoln: Forever Free (1927), With Malice Toward None (1928), and The Last Full Measure (1930). For five years, she served as the editor of The Delineator.

Early life and education

Nora Bryant McCue was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, February 19, 1880. She was a descendant of New England pioneers of the West. Her parents were William Dunbar McCue (1846-1922) and Lillian Bryant Head (1852-1902). Her siblings were Philip, Helen, Cornelia, and Lydia. Her family's most important possession was their library of choice books. Here, as a child, she read the masters of English literature.

Morrow received her collegiate training in the writing of English at the University of Wisconsin (BA, 1902), where she earned a local reputation for her work on college magazines. While an upperclassman, Cedric, her Great Dane puppy, was a constant companion.

Career

On August 1, 1904, in Blooming Grove, Wisconsin, she married Henry Elmer Willsie (1868-1948), a mining engineer. There followed two years in the Arizona desert. The desert trip was supplemented by long periods in the mining districts, the mountains, and the Northwestern dairy region. She never placed a novel in a setting unless it was intimately known to her.
