  • Frances Ormond Jones Gaither (May 21, 1889 – October 28, 1955) was an American novelist whose major works depict slavery in the plantation South.

She produced four books for children in the 1930s—three works of fiction, The Painted Arrow (1931), The Scarlet Coat (1934), Little Miss Cappo (1937), and a biography of La Salle entitled The Fatal River (1931) Gaither is most renowned, however, for her trinity of novels for adult readers about American slavery—Follow the Drinking Gourd (1940), The Red Cock Crows (1944), and Double Muscadine (1949). While long out of print, the second of these works is probably Gaither's most significant work—a dramatic tale of a slave rebellion based on historical events in Hinds County, Mississippi in 1835.
