About this person
Rose Hartwick Thorpe was an American poet and writer, remembered largely for the narrative poem, Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight (1867), which gained national popularity and circulated abroad in a number of translations. Other poems followed, among them being "The Station Agent's Story", "Red Cross", and "In a Mining Town". Although a busy and prolific author, she was ill for some years. In 1888, she and her family moved to San Diego, California, living in Rosemere, Pacific Beach. Thorpe gave San Diego's "False Bay" the new moniker "Mission Bay" in a poem published in 1888 in The Golden Era; the name persists today.
