Margaret Manton Merrill (1859 – June 19/20, 1893) was a Minnesota-born American journalist, writer, translator, and elocutionist.[1] At the age of twenty, she became the founder, owner and editor of the Colorado Temperance Gazette. She stayed in journalism for twelve years, where her noted successes were in the line of stories for children, while she likewise made translations from such diverse languages as Scandinavian and Sioux.[2]
