We are in the process of pulling together information about our favorite author that might be enough to produce a great biographical story to be published. We hope to be able to gather stories, newspaper articles, photos and more to produce a great book that will satisfy all of her fans all around the world. The main goal is to earn enough money from the sales of the biography to keep this website up and running for years to come. The secondary goal would be to donate half of the proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association<\/a> to aid in their researching for a cure for this soul-stealing disease. That’s for later but keep it in mind.
\n<\/p>\n

As we have stated in previous posts we have quite a collection of newspaper articles that we have gathered together that spans over 70 years and we will be using them to help write the biography and to post little tidbits on this blog for her fans. Did you know that Ms. Gilman had several stories posted in a variety of different magazines during the beginning of her writing career? We only found a couple listed on the copyright website but it seems that we still have our work cut out for us to find the rest. See the article below.<\/p>\n

The Berkshire Eagle, August 14, 1963<\/p>\n

Summer Resident at Lake Authors Magazine Article<\/strong><\/p>\n

LANESBORO – Mrs. Dorothy Gilman Butters, a summer resident of Superior Street for the past 39 years has been notified that another of her short stories has been accepted by a leading magazine.<\/p>\n

The story, called “The Eye of Light,” which will be published in a few months by Good Housekeeping, is based on a similar experience the author had while stranded alone for several days at her folk’s cottage when she was 18. ***(story renamed to “Escape” in the June 1964 Good Housekeeping Magazine)***<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, Mrs. Butters sold her first short story to the same magazine. Since that time she has had stories accepted by Ladies Home Journal, Calling All Girls, Redbook, the Toronto Star and Jack and Jill.<\/p>\n

[The Central New Jersey Home News- October, 25 1953<\/p>\n

Story Published<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Each week there’s more news about our authors.<\/p>\n

This time it’s a repeat performance Dorothy Gilman Butters, daughter of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J. Bruce Gilman of Highland Park, has graduated from juvenile to adult fiction.<\/p>\n

Her first short story for grown-ups is “The Same Language”, appearing in the November issue of Good Housekeeping. She has already published several books for teenagers.]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, Mrs. Butters is better known for the books she has written for teen-agers. Here latests, “Bells of Freedom,” will be published in September by the Macrae-Smith Co. It was written for boys 10 to 14 and concerns an indentured servant to a Boston counterfeiter who witnesses the Battle of Concord.<\/p>\n

Four of her 11 books have been chosen by the Junior Literary Guild: they are “Girl in Buckskin”, “Witch’s Silver”, “Heartbreak Street”, and “Ten Leagues to Boston Town”. The setting for “Girl in Buckskin” is at Pontoosuc Lake here in 1703.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Heartbreak Street” received the most fan mail and has been very popular in Japan and Germany. Another book, “Masquerade,” has been reprinted by the Berkly Highland Books in a paperback under the name “Heart’s Design.” The book concerns four girls who attend art school, one of whom is a Negro.<\/p>\n

All of Mrs. Butter’s research has been done in the historical and reference rooms of the Berkshire Anthenacum.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Mrs. Butters won the William Emlen Cresson Traveling Scholarship for travel in Europe in 1945. While at college, she tried her hand at writing and illustrating children’s books. This proved to be unsuccessful but led indirectly to her writing for teen-agers.<\/p>\n

The author is married to Edgar Butters, who is a seventh-grade social studies teacher in the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township in New Jersey where they make their home. They have two sons, Christoper, 13, and Jonathan, 8.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Butter’s Father, the Rev. J. Bruce Gilman, had his first pastorate at the Morningside Baptist Church in Pittsfield. In 1915, he built their summer home here on the North shore of the lake.<\/em><\/p>\n
