While mostly recognized for her writings on Native Americans, particularly the Nez Percé, she also wrote extensively on other aspects of the frontier west. The biographical ''War Chief Joseph'' (1941) earned her much acclaim. Other notable works include ''Northwest Trail Blazers'' (1963), ''Saga of Chief Joseph'' (1965), ''American Indian Poetry'' (1979), and ''American Frontier Tales'' (1980). She also contributed to several journals, including ''Washington Historical Quarterly'', ''Writer'', ''Frontier and Midland'', ''Historical Bulletin'', ''Journal of the West'', ''Pacific Northwest Quarterly'', ''Catholic Digest'', and ''Real West''. Howard was also a book reviewer for ''Journal of the West'' beginning in 1969, and a member of its editorial advisory board in 1978.
Howard liked horses and wrote about the topic in many journals. Her articles were published in ''Equestrian Trails'', ''Arabian Horse News'', ''Horseman'', ''Western Horseman'', and ''Saddle Action''. In recognition of her literary contributions, Howard was included in the 1989 edition of ''The World Who's Who of Women.'' She died in Burbank, California on August 2, 1989 at the age of 84.
