Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow was born in Richmond, where she lived all but a few years of her life in the family home at One West Main. One of the most popular and important American novelists of the early twentieth century, Glasgow received the Pulitzer Prize in 1942 for In This Our Life. In Vein of Iron (1935), which enjoyed a print-run of 100,000 in its first year, Glasgow tells the
story of an emigrant Scots-Presbyterian family in western Virginia, focusing particularly upon the qualities of personal enduranceand fortitude celebrated in the book's title.
Ellen Glasgow. Letter to J. J. Murray. Typescript, 14 January 1939.
A member of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) since the year after its founding in 1892, Glasgow became vice president of the society in 1911 and president in 1924. As president she supervised the opening of an animal shelter, protested against the use of mules in construction work, and waged a vigorous battle against vivisection. In this letter to J. J.
Murray (who is featured in section one), she thanks Murray for sending her an article and notes that, to her, "the keeping of wild animals in captivity is a relic of barbarism; but, after all, what we call civilization is but a thin veneer over the old savage."
