}}Margaret Junkin Preston (May 19, 1820 – March 28, 1897)[1] was an American poet and author.[2]

Biography

She was born in Milton, Pennsylvania, in 1820.[3][4] Her father was George Junkin, a Presbyterian minister and college president.[2][3][4][5][6] She learned Latin and Ancient Greek at the age of twelve.[3] She married Major John Thomas Lewis Preston in 1857,[7] a professor of Latin at Virginia Military Institute.[2][3][4][5][6] Her sister, Elinor (Ellie), had in 1853 married Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a colleague of Preston's at VMI.[8] Major Preston served on the staff of Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War.[9]

She wrote many volumes of prose and poetry, and published some of her writing in the Southern Literary Messenger and Graham's Magazine.[10] She also published a few articles in Harper's Magazine.[11]Preston's 1856 novel Silverwood is a subtle exploration of the clash between traditional values of honor and family and the new market economy that was sweeping through the United States and the Shenandoah Valley.[12] She is remembered for espousing the Confederacy in her poems,[6] and she was known informally as the Poet Laureate of the Confederacy.[13]

She became blind in the late 1880s, and died in Baltimore in 1897.[3][5]
