Mari Sandoz

American novelist and biographer Mari Sandoz was born in Sheridan County, NE, in 1901, the eldest of six children of Swiss immigrants (she once noted that she grew up speaking German and hearing French, Polish and Czech, due to the number of Europeans who settled the Nebraska frontier; she didn't learn to speak English until she started school, at nine years of age). After graduating she took the exams to become a rural teacher, and taught school for five years. Afterwards she attended the University of Nebraska for 3-1/2 years but did not graduate.
