Therese Yelverton (c. 1832-1881) was a British Author. She married
Major William Charles Yelverton, Viscount Avonmore in 1857, and
became Therese Yelverton, Viscountess Avonmore. Her family's small
fortune was robbed by her husband, so she supported herself by
writing about her travels. She spent the summer of 1870 in
Yosemite, where she attached herself to the Hutchings family and
John Muir. He escaped to the woods, but not before she had noted
enough of his conversation and his ways of life to make him over
into Kenmuir, the hero of her novel. After Yosemite, she continued
to tour the world and write about her adventures. Her works include
Zanita: A Tale of the Yo-semite (1872).
