During the 19th century, Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1909) was a well-known American writer who made significant literary contributions, especially in the South. Evans, who was born in Columbus, Georgia, on May 8, 1835, started writing at an early age and released her debut book, "Inez: A Tale of the Alamo," when she was fifteen years old. With the release of "St. Elmo" in 1866, Evans became well-known and cemented her position as one of the most well-liked authors in the South. The book was a huge hit. Themes of morality, women's position in society, and Southern American culture were frequently examined in her works. Evans continued to write after getting married to Lorenzo Madison Wilson in 1868, and he also saw significant financial success. She became well-known for her writings after producing "Beulah" (1859), another important masterpiece.
