Settle, Mary Lee
▪ 2006

      American author (b. July 29, 1918, Charleston, W.Va.—d. Sept. 27, 2005, Ivy, Va.), penned the critically acclaimed Beulah Quintet—a historical fiction that traced events from Cromwellian England to 20th-century West Virginia. The saga debuted in 1956 with O Beulah Land and continued with Know Nothing (1960), Prisons (1973), The Scapegoat (1980), and The Killing Ground (1982). Settle won the National Book Award in 1978 for her novel Blood Tie. Two years later she established a new literary prize, the PEN/Faulkner Award.
