Katharine Hopkins Chapman (née, Hopkins; pen name, Katharine Hope; March 4, 1870/72/73 - May 21, 1930) was an author and historian of the American South.[2] Born in the antebellum atmosphere of Selma, transplanted to the booming time of Anniston in its infancy, grafted by marriage into the crude conditions of Bessemer's early days, a frequent visitor to Mobile and Montgomery, Chapman was well equipped to delineate Alabama characters and scenes, and in her stories she depicted life among the well-to-do American Southern people, her first writings being signed "Katharine Hope" in deference for her father's scruples against a woman's name appearing in print except at her marriage or death.[3] By 1921, she had published 89 short stories in leading magazines.[4] A short memoir appeared in The Editor in 1913.[5]
