Sarah "Sally" McLean (Greene) was born in 1856 in Simsbury, Connecticut, the fourth of five children of Dudley Bestor McLean and Mary (Payne) McLean.[1] Her brother George P. McLean became a governor of Connecticut and U.S. senator.[2] McLean was educated at private schools and then at Mount Holyoke Seminary (the precursor to Mount Holyoke College). In 1874, after two years at the seminary, she went to teach in the Cedarville, Massachusetts, school system for a year. On returning home, McClean turned her experiences as a teacher into a A quasi-autobiographical novel that was published in 1881 as Cape Cod Folks. The novel was made into a film under the title Her Man around 1924 by Louis B. Mayer and Reginald Barker, with the Monterey coast of California doubling for New England. She married F. L. Greene in 1887 and left New England for the western United States. Her next pair of books were set in the West: Lastchance Junction: Far, Far West (1889) and Leon Pontifex (1890). Greene's husband died in 1890, following which she returned to New England. In 1892, she published one of her most popular books, Vesty of the Basins, another tale of local life. Greene also wrote a few poems, including "The Lamp" and "De Sheepfol'"Greene retired from writing in 1913, having published 14 books. Her work was admired by Harriet Beecher Stowe and Oliver Wendell Holmes, among others. She died in 1935.
