Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth was an artist, journalist, writer and world traveler. Her articles appeared in magazines like Atlantic Monthly and Field and Stream. Author of "The Far Islands and Other Cold Places" was finally published in 1997 due to the work of her great nephew James Taylor Dunn.

"Elizabeth Taylor, daughter of James Wickes Taylor, was born in 1853. She never married, but traveled extensively in Canada and Europe. In the 1880s and the 1890s she made two journeys on the Nipigon and MacKenzie rivers in Canada and visited a number of European countries, residing for a while in England. She also visited Iceland and lived for more than ten years on the Faroe Islands, where she was interned during World War I, finally returning to the U.S. in the 1920s. From that time until her death in 1932, Taylor lived at "Wake Robin," a cabin she had built near Rochester, Vermont. She was an artist and writer, and a number of her descriptive writings were published in outdoor and nature magazines as well as in Atlantic Monthly and Forum."
