Katharine Lee Bates: Author of “America the Beautiful”

Paperback (Filter Press, LLC Oct. 1, 2013) , Bilingual edition
Katharine Lee Bates visited Colorado only once, but that was enough. She took home to Massachusetts a memory that led her to write, “America the Beautiful.” The poem, inspired by a trip to the top of Pikes Peak in 1893, was wildly popular and became a cultural fixture once it was set to the music of Samuel Ward. Katharine taught literature at Wellesley College for forty years.

Great Lives in Colorado History biographies bring the stories of notable Coloradans to elementary grade readers. Each book in the series is bilingual, containing full text in both English and Spanish.
