Description	The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the History of Christian Science was published in November 1909 in New York by Doubleday, Page & Company. The book is a highly critical account of the life of Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910), the founder of Christian Science, and the early history of the Christian Science church in 19th-century New England.The material first appeared in McClure's magazine (1893–1929) in 14 installments between January 1907 and June 1908, preceded by an editorial in December 1906 announcing the series. "Editorial announcement", McClure's, December 1906. "Mary Baker G. Eddy", McClure's, January 1907 – June 1908. The articles were the first major examination of Eddy's life and work, published when she was 85 years old, and became a key primary source for most independent accounts of the church's early history.Martin Gardner, The Healing Revelations of Mary Baker Eddy, Prometheus Books, 1993, p. 41.Gillian Gill, Mary Baker Eddy, Da Capo Press, 1998, p. 567.Caroline Fraser, God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church, Henry Holt and Company, 1999, pp. 137–141.The magazine's publisher and editor-in-chief, S. S. McClure (1857–1949), assigned five writers to work on the articles: Willa Cather (1873–1947), who won the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for one of her novels; researcher Georgine Milmine (1874–1950); managing editor Will Irwin (1873–1948); Burton J. Hendrick (1870–1949); Mark Sullivan (1874–1952), who became a well-known political columnist; and briefly Ida Tarbell (1857–1944).Gill 1998, p. 565.Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, Willa Cather: a Memoir, Ohio University Press, 1992, pp. 64–65 (first published by J. B. Lippincott, 1953).For Sullivan's involvement, see Peter Lyon, Success Story: The Life and Times of S. S. McClure, Scribner, 1963, p. 299 (for background on Sullivan, see Joseph S. Kennedy, "Columnist's words influence politics", Philadelphia Inquirer, May 2, 2004). The original byline on the book and articles was Milmine's, but it later emerged that Cather, who had joined McClure's as an editor in 1906, was the principal author.David Stouck, "Introduction," in Willa Cather and Georgine Milmine, The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the History of Christian Science, University of Nebraska Press, 1993, p. xvff.The Christian Science church purchased the manuscript shortly after the book's publication, and it was soon out of print.Gardner 1993, p. 41; Fraser 1999, p. 139. It was republished by Baker Book House in 1971 after its copyright had expired, and again in 1993 by the University of Nebraska Press, this time naming both Cather and Milmine as authors.
