Nardi Reeder Campion was born in 1917 in Honolulu. Because her father was an Army colonel, she lived in different states during her youth. She attended Wellesley College, taught in public schools, and married an executive of the New York Times. She has written books, screenplays, and articles for encyclopedias and magazines. Her children's books include biographies about Kit Carson, Patrick Henry, and Mother Ann Lee.
