About: Cora Stuart Wheeler

Cora Stuart Wheeler (pen name, Trebor Ohl; September 6, 1852 – March 10, 1897) was a 19th-century American poet and author. She was one of the most successful short-story writers of the day. It was during the civil war, as a girl in her father's committee-room at the Capitol, during President Lincoln's time, that ideas were formed which developed into her verse of later years. Wheeler, a well-known literary worker and journalist in her day, wrote verse, bits of humor, biographies, and racy, thrilling stories. She gave instructive, entertaining lectures, through which ran good-natured wit and purpose.
