Autorenporträt
Francis Lynde (November 12, 1856-May 16, 1930) was an American writer. Three of his writings were converted into films. He was born in Lewiston, New York, and authored adventure stories set in the American West during the early twentieth century. The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library houses a collection of his papers. His novels are set in the mountains of Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. Railroading and mining provided backdrops for his narratives. The principal protagonists were mostly mining or railroad engineers. His collection of detective stories was named Scientific Sprague. His narrative, Moonshiner of Fact, takes place in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Tennessee. Mary Antoinette Stickle Lynde (nee Stickle; 1867-1960) was his wife. He is buried at Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
