Notes

Charlotte Isabel Gordon (née Toombs) was educated at Stonewall, Manitoba, where her father edited a local newspaper. Prior to publishing fiction she contributed feature articles and stories to British illustrated journals, including the London Sphere and the London Graphic.

Redgold: A True Story of an Englishwoman’s Development in the West is her first novel. Despite its subtitle, the work is fictional or semi-fictional, described in Peel’s Bibliography of the Canadian Prairies to 1953 as based in part on the author’s experience in the Calgary district. Set in Western Canada, it follows an Englishwoman’s adjustment to life in the developing West.
