Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews (April 2, 1860-August 2, 1936)[1] was an American writer. She is best known for a widely read short story about US President Abraham Lincoln, "The Perfect Tribute", which was adapted for film twice and sold 600, 000 copies when published as a standalone volume. Aside from her boys' stories, Andrews primarily was known for sentimental and melodramatic magazine fiction. Many of her works were published in Scribner's Magazine. She also wrote The Marshal, a Napoleonic historical novel, Crosses of War, a collection of World War I poetry, A Lost Commander, a biography of Florence Nightingale, and The Eternal Feminine, a collection of stories about women. Andrews also wrote the chapter "The School Boy" in The Whole Family, a collaborative novel with chapters written by different authors, including Henry James and William Dean Howells. In this thrilling patriotic narrative, the author had provided a great story about that great American, Theodore Roosevelt, The story has for its hero a young boy who by strange chance had a talk with Roosevelt that vivified, strengthened, and elevated his whole standard of conduct. The drama of the story is the boy's own life, and Roosevelt is the pervading influence which, in a series of crises, steers him right. This work is an extraordinarily vivid presentation of a powerful personality; a thrilling panorama of an historic episode; and one of the compelling human stories of our time. This book is one of a series of stories and essays whose recognition as masterpieces by the critical few as well as by the multitude, obviously demanded publication in a permanent and independent form.
