This controversial biography of the founder of the Christian Science church was serialized in McClure's Magazine in 1907-8 and published as a book the next year. It disappeared almost overnight and has been difficult to find ever since. Although a Canadian mewspaperwoman named Georgine Milmine collected the material and was credited as the author, The Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy was actually written by Willa Cather, an editor at McClure's at that time. In his introduction to this Bison Book edition, David Stouck reveals new evidence of Cather's authorship of The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy . He discusses her fidelity to facts and her concern with psychology and philosophy that would take creative form later on. Indeed, this biography contains "some of the finest portrait sketches and reflections on human nature that Willa Cather would ever write."

This book was originally published in 1909. The Christian Science Publication Committe tried to suppress the original articles as they were published in" McClures Magazine" from 1907-1908. It was later reported that a "friend of Christian Science" bought up the copyright and printers plates - then destroyed the plates. The books already printed were bought up by many in the Christian Science Church and destroyed. The original notes and source documents are held in the vaults of the Christian Science Mother Church in Boston under " The Milmine Collection". Any original copies of this book are exceedingly rare. The book contains sworn afidavits, court records and personal accounts that are very damaging to Mrs. Eddy and her claims to "Divine inspiration". This book was copied faithfully from an original held in the " Leon S. McGoogan Library of Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha.
