Harriet Ward Sanborn Grosvenor (1823-1863) was an American writer and poet. 15 books she wrote were published.[1][2]
She was born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire on January 22, 1823, the daughter of Thayer S. Sanborn (1797–1874) and Deborah Ward (1804–1850). In 1843 married Edwin Prescott Grosvenor, M.D., of Newburyport, Massachusetts, where the couple resided after the wedding.[1]
Harriet Grosvenor's son, Edwin A. Grosvenor, became a noted professor of history at Amherst College and her grandson, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, was the first employee and longtime President of the National Geographic Society and Editor of its magazine.
