Eleanor Risley
In the brief time that she lived in Alabama, Eleanor de la Vergne Doss Risley (1867-1945) produced two notable volumes of sketches and stories that provide an insight into residents of Fairhope in south Alabama and the rural mountain communities and peoples of north Alabama. Her monograph Real Fairhope Folks (1928) consists primarily of sketches originally written for The Fairhope Courier from 1921 to 1924.
