History
Agnes Christina Laut was born on February 11, 1871 in Stanley Township, Huron County, Ontario to John Laut and Eliza George; in 1873 she moved with her family to Winnipeg. After completing normal school when she was fifteen, Laut worked as a substitute teacher at the Carleton School in Winnipeg for several years. She then proceeded to attend the University of Manitoba for two years before she was forced to withdraw due to health concerns. She then began to work as a writer including as an editorial writer at the Manitoba Free Press, and contributor to Canadian, America, and English magazines / periodicals such as the Saturday Evening Post, Financial Post, Review of Reviews, and Colliers. In 1900 she moved to the United States and it was after this transition that she began to have several novels and histories (often related to Canadian and/or exploration, settlement themes) published, including "Lords of the North"; "Pathfinders of the West."; "Canada, the Empire of the North"; and "Enchanted Trails of Glacier Park"; "Pioneers of the Pacific Coast"; and "The Romance of the Rails: The Story of the American Railroads."
Agnes Laut died November 15, 1936.
