Note: The Poets and Poetry of the West: With Biographical and Critical Notices By William Turner Coggeshall Margaret L Bailey, daughter of Thomas Shands, was born in Sussex Co., VA, on the twelfth day of December 1812. When she was about six years of age her father removed to Ohio and settled in the vicinity of Cincinnati. In 1833 Miss Shands married Gamaliel Bailey, then a physician in Cincinnati who, in 1837, became the editor and proprietor of "The Philanthropist", the well known anti slavery journal, which was merged into "The Cincinnati Morning Herald", in the year 1843.
in 1844, Mrs. Bailey undertook the editorial management of "The Youth's Monthly Visitor", a handsome quarto paper for little folks, which rapidly grew into favor and attained a large circulation. When, in 1847, Mr. Bailey removed from Cincinnati to Washington City, for the purpose of editing "The National Era", Mrs. Bailey " transferred the publication of "The Visitor" to that city, and it continued until 1852. She made it a welcome "Visitor" to thousands of households, the good wishes of which might be coveted by any editory or author.
After Mr. Bailey's decease in 1859, Mrs Bailey wa sthe publisher of "The National Era" until the time of its suspension, February, 1860. She now rsides in Washington City. Between the care of an interesting family, and the attentions of a circle of literary friends, by whom she is regarded with loving honor, her time has been so entirely occupied that she has not exercised her poetic faculties, unless in secret, for eight or ten years.
