Lowell M. Greenlaw was vice president and general counsel for Pullman, Inc., before
retiring and becoming an author. His first book was
Georgia Faye: Story of an American Family, about his wife and their life together. He worked for more than ten years on his
second book, a biography of his brother, Edwin Greenlaw, who joined the faculty at
the University of North Carolina as an English professor in 1913. A distinguished
scholar who studied Edmund Spenser, Edwin Greenlaw was among the first group of faculty
chosen for Kenan professorships. He served as graduate school dean from 1920 to 1925,
when he resigned to teach at Johns Hopkins University. Edwin Greenlaw co-edited
Literature and Life (1926), a high school reading course published by Scott, Foresman and Company. Lowell
M. Greenlaw died in 1968 before completing the biography.
