Author Biography
Anne Royall, born in 1769 in Baltimore, embarked on a transformative journey marked by geographical relocations and diverse occupations. Following the passing of her father and step-father, her family settled in Sweet Springs, Virginia, where she had the opportunity to engage in intellectual pursuits under the patronage of a Revolutionary War major. Royall's life unfolded as an author, traversing the United States, writing influential travel books such as Sketches of History, Life, and Manners in the United States. Despite facing legal battles, financial difficulties, and encountering hostility due to her outspokenness, Royall persisted as a writer and publisher, shedding light on government inefficiencies and corruption.
