Autorenporträt
Colonel Prentiss Ingraham (1843–1904) was a prolific 19th-century American author noted for his dime novels and his association with the legendary figure Buffalo Bill Cody. His literary career was marked by an adventurous life, with Ingraham enlisting in the Confederate army during the American Civil War at the young age of nineteen. After the war, his restless spirit led him on various adventures, including a stint in the Egyptian army. It was upon his return to the United States that he found his calling in writing, initially penning his experiences before transitioning to tales of the Wild West. Among his extensive bibliography, which includes over 600 novels, 'Buffalo Bill's Spy Trailer; Or, The Stranger in Camp' stands as a quintessential example of his work. The book intertwines themes of bravery, subterfuge, and the rugged charm of frontier life—an enduring legacy of Ingraham's fascination with the American West and its heroes. Ingraham's narrative style often combined factual accounts with fiction, creating a romanticized yet entertaining portrayal of Western life. Despite not achieving overwhelming critical acclaim, his stories were beloved by a broad audience and contributed significantly to the mythos of the American frontier.
