Autorenporträt

Charles King (1844–1933) was a prolific American writer, soldier, and a distinguished brigadier general. Born in New York, he embarked on a military career that spanned decades, enlisting as a volunteer during the Civil War at the age of 19. King's literary journey dovetailed with his military service, as he translated his experiences into ficitionalized accounts capturing the essence of the American frontier and military life. His oeuvre includes over 60 books, where he was celebrated for his authentic descriptions of army life and Western frontier conditions. Among his works, 'An Apache Princess: A Tale of the Indian Frontier' stands as a notable example of his ability to weave romance and adventure against the backdrop of the rugged landscapes and cultural clashes of the late 19th-century America. King's writing style encompassed a blend of personal military insight and an empathetic understanding of Native American cultures, which he portrayed with a sense of respect and realism. His contributions extend beyond literature, as his life and works offer a window into the era of American expansion and the complexities of frontier life.
