(Jocoseria) Amélie Louise Rives Chanler Troubetzkoy (23 August 1863-15 June 1945), writer and celebrity, was born in Richmond, Virginia, and lived much of her life at Castle Hill, the Rives family estate in Albemarle County. .Precocious and doted on by her family, she was largely educated by tutors at home where, encouraged to follow the example of literary relatives, she began writing at an early age." "Rives's first published work, the romantic short story "A Brother to Dragons," complete with imaginative Elizabethan dialogue, appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1886 and received praise.
