David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, England, in 1885. In
1914, he married Frieda Von Richtofen, a German national and
distant cousin of the German war ace, "The Red Baron" von
Richthofen. While living on the Coast of Cornwall in 1917, they
were harassed and accused of being spies for Germany.
By 1921, the Lawrences were living in Italy and D. H. had won
international acclaim for his writings. Mabel Dodge Sterne invited
the pair to her home in Taos, New Mexico. Traveling by way of
Ceylon, Australia, Tahiti, and, finally, San Francisco, the
Lawrences set foot in New Mexico for the first time in 1922.
Although he traveled all over the world, Lawrence was never as
happy anywhere as he was in Taos.
Arthur Bachrach has lived in Taos for over twenty years, and he
has come to know people who freely recalled the Lawrences. They
shared information about the circle of artists and friends who
surrounded the Lawrences and their lifestyles. Bachrach provides
information on Lawrence's writings and the influence living in the
mountains of New Mexico had upon him.
D. H. Lawrence died of tuberculosis while visiting France in
1930, and five years later, his ashes were placed in a memorial on
his beloved Kiowa Ranch near Taos. Given to the University of New
Mexico in the 1950s by D. H.'s widow, the ranch is known today as
the D. H. Lawrence Ranch.
