description: "Emily Dorothy Scarborough was born to Judge John B. Scarborough and his wife, Mary Adelaide. She was a famous American writer who wrote about Texas, folk culture, cotton farming, ghost stories and women's life in the Southwest. In addition to writing, she taught lectures as an assistant professor at Columbia University in creative writing, and numerous students of hers went on to become well-published and respected authors. She is considered a Baylor University alumni celebrity by the Baylor Lariat. Her students and colleagues described her as being energetic, engaging and a keen-observer, in regards to her occupation as an assistant professor as well as her temperament as a person. Scarborough also displayed interest in art and agriculture as she frequently attended an art retreat called YADDO in Saratoga Springs, New York, and she owned a farm of 125 acres in Connecticut."
