Margaret Cameron was an American musician and writer. Most of Cameron's writing was humorous. May Lamberton Becker, outlining in the New York Evening Post a course of study in American humor, mentioned Margaret Cameron as one of the three women humorists thus far produced by the country. Cameron wrote several one-act plays for amateurs, a variety of short stories, two books on travel, one of which, The Involuntary Chaperon, was considered to be the first South American travel book published in the U.S.; and a novel, Johndover. Her book, The Seven Purposes has been considered the first book written in the U.S. concerning psychic phenomena to be widely circulated.
