Mary Dana Shindler

1810–1883 · Beaufort, South Carolina · United States

Widowed in Iowa within a year of moving there from South Carolina, Mrs. Dana published the Southern Harp and Northern Harp in the early 1840s, and "I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger" comes from that period. She later married Robert Shindler, a professor in Kentucky and Texas. Raised Presbyterian, she passed through a Unitarian phase before settling in the Episcopal Church.
