Biographical Information
Haniel Long (pronounced han-eye-el, with the accent on the middle syllable) was born in Rangoon, Burma, in 1888, and brought to the United States at age three. He spent his childhood in the Pittsburgh area. Long attended Exeter and Harvard, where he began to show his talent as a writer of "romantic verse and vigorous prose."
In 1910, after spending a year writing for a New York newspaper, he attained an appointment as English instructor at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, later known as Carnegie Mellon University. He became head of the department ten years later. In 1929, Long, his wife Alice, and son Anton moved to Santa Fe, where Haniel and Alice spent the rest of their lives. Long wrote for newspapers and magazines to support himself and his family. In 1937-1938, Long edited the literary page of the New Mexico Sentinel , published by Cyrus McCormick.
Haniel Long was a dominant force in organizing the Writers' Editions in 1932, with Alice Corbin Henderson, Witter Bynner, Paul Horgan, Oliver LaFarge, and Mary Austin to cooperatively publish each others books. Writers' Editions published 17 books, until a paper shortage during World War II forced them to cease publication.
Long died in 1956. His greatest literary products were Interlinear to Cabeza de Vaca ; Power within Us ; Malinche ; Piñon Country ; If He Can Make Her So; and Spring Returns (published posthumously).
