Mary Anna Hallock Foote, née Mary Anna Hallock, (born Nov. 19, 1847, Milton, N.Y., U.S.—died June 25, 1938, Hingham, Mass.), American novelist and illustrator whose vivid literary and artistic productions drew on life in the mining communities of the American West.

Foote’s subsequent books, including The Little Fig Tree Stories (1899), The Desert and the Sown (1902), The Royal Americans (1910), and Edith Bonham (1917), presented pictures of Western life among miners, Mexicans, and others. Self-illustrated, they sometimes rivaled the works of Bret Harte.

At the insistence of her various editors, however, she frequently submitted with little resistance to the dictates of Victorian gentility and formulaic fiction. Her work soon passed out of circulation.

The lists below can be found on this app that give some her main works:

In Exile
