American writer and naturalist
Virginia Louise Snyder Eifert (January 23, 1911 - June 16, 1966) was a naturalist and popular historian based in the U.S. state of Illinois. From a staff base in the Illinois State Museum, she published 18 books. Her works included holistic natural histories of the Mississippi River, a biography of early river chronicler Louis Jolliet, and many other works, including a multi-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln written for children. Published in the 1950s, the first volume "Three rivers south : the story of young Abe Lincoln" was illustrated by Thomas Hart Benton.
As a writer for periodicals, Eifert was published in "Audubon Magazine", "Nature", and "Natural History". Her papers were donated to Western Illinois University.
