Her works include Skookum: An Oregon Pioneer Family's History and Lore (1988) and Living Among Headstones: Life in a Country Cemetery (2005). She is also the co-editor of Talking on Paper: Oregon Letters and Diaries, sixth edition (1993).[1]
In 2007, she was named one of the eight recipients to be given the Governor's Arts Awards for 2006-2007 by Ted Kulongoski.[2]
She is a direct descendant of Charles Applegate who blazed[clarification needed] the Oregon Trail in 1843 along with his brothers, Jesse Applegate and Lindsay Applegate. Her father was Rex Applegate,[3] the author of military[4] and police training manuals.
She lives with her husband, Daniel Robertson, on 110 acres (0.45 km2) of the land that was a part of Charles Applegate's original donation land claim. Their home is the "oldest house in the State of Oregon still occupied by its original family."[5]
