Biography

Henrietta (sometimes "Harriet"^[1]) Gould was born in East Corinth, Maine, 1835.^{[2][lower-alpha 1]} She was the daughter of Aaron and Sarah Gould. Rowe received an academic education.^[1]

She married James Swett Rowe of Bangor, Maine on October 25, 1856. After her marriage, she removed to Bangor, Maine and resided thereafter in that city.^[3][1]

She began to write as soon as she could make letters on her slate, but only after her marriage did she write for publication. She did a great deal of literary work in the subsequent decades, principally prose, with an occasional poem. She wrote for The Youth's Companion, Portland Transcript, Wide-Awake, and various other publications. Rowe published various volumes, including Re-told Tales of the Hills and Shores of Maine (1892); Queenshithe (1895); and A Maid of Bar Harbor (1902).^[2] As an author, she received positive recognition, and her last book did fair to out-rival her Re-Told Tales, which passed through several editions.^[3] She wrote poems and stories for many magazines, principally relating to New England life and character. She was also an educator of advanced pupils in history and literature, and a prominent clubwoman.^[1]
