Evelyn Sibley Lampman

Author

(1907 - 1980)

Mrs. Lampman (1907 - 1980) grew up in Dallas, Oregon, granddaughter of pioneers in that region. She graduated from Oregon State and worked for many years in radio. Her first book was published in 1948, and she was most recognized for sensitive books about racial minorities, especially Native Americans.

In 1947, Doubleday published her debut novel, Crazy Creek, a story about pioneer life in Oregon for older children; two years later, when Doubleday accepted her second book, Treasure Mountain, she quit her day job. She went on to write forty meticulously-researched historical and science fiction novels for young adults.
