Emily Chubbuck Judson (1817– 1854) is a well-known name, but for more reasons than most know. She was a nationally known writer (her pseudonym was Fanny Forrester) with pieces appearing alongside those by Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, and she walked in literary company second to none.

During her fascinating life, she was a prolific letter writer.
