Betty Jamerson Reed, author from western North Carolina

Today I want to introduce my readers to Betty Jamerson Reed, writer, who lives here in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. Betty is 83 years old, but is living a full life as a writer and is involved in several organizations. She has long been a member of NCWriters' Network and NCWN-West, the mountain program of the Network. 

Read an interview with Betty on this site.  See Betty's picture and read her bio here.

Betty's new book Soldiers in Petticoats is a biographical account of three women of accomplishment: Sophia Sawyer (1792-1854), a teacher in the Cherokee Nation; Emily Prudden (1832-1817), a teacher of black and white Appalachian youngsters; and Martha Berry (1866-1942) who taught white mountain children.
