Jane Little Botkin
Award-winning author ​Jane (Janie) Little Botkin is a retired teacher turned historical investigator and author. After graduating from the University of Texas at El Paso with a BA in English, Jane taught high school students for thirty years and supervised fifteen volumes of the student-publication A History of Dripping Springs and Hays County (1993-2008), a valuable historical resource for Texas researchers. In 2008 the Texas State Legislature honored her career in education by formal resolution. In post-retirement, Jane has continued to write about and participate in local historic preservation, dividing her time between communities in the Texas Hill Country and New Mexico’s White Mountain Wilderness. Frank Little and the IWW : The Blood That Stained an American Family is her first nonfiction book, winner of two 2018 Spur Awards from Western Writers of America. The subject of the book is Botkin’s great-granduncle, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World, who was lynched for his words on August 1, 1917. Jane is currently working on her second book, Jane Street and the Rebel Maids: Sex, Syndicalism, and Denver's Capitol Hill.
