The first published works of Danske Dandridge (1854-1914) were her poems, Joy (1888), Rosebrake (1890), and Joy and Other Poems (new and enlarged), all issued by G. P. Putnam's Sons. Many poems appeared in magazines. "My Garden Day by Day," was published in serial form in The American Garden about 1890-1891.
Her prose histories published by the Michle Company, Charlottesville, Va., included George Michael Bedinger: A Kentucky Pioneer (1909), Historic Shepherdstown (1910), and American Prisoners of the Revolution (1911). Unpublished at her death in 1914 were two manuscripts: in finished form, The St. Clair Expedition of 1791 , and in a very rough draft form, The Bedingers of Old Shenandoah. Much of the content in these histories was culled by Danske from the many letters and other documents she copied from multiple sources on Bedinger and Dandridge family histories.
