Autorenporträt
William Rheem Lighton (1866-1923) was a notable literary figure in the early 20th century. Born in Missouri, Lighton was an author, journalist, and screenwriter. He penned the book 'Lewis and Clark,' which remains a reflection of his keen interest in the historical narrative of the United States. Published in 1901, the book chronicles the journey of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their famed expedition into the American West, following the Louisiana Purchase. Lighton's portrayal was not merely that of recounting historical events; his narrative was imbued with a vibrant literary style, which brought the characters and the vast American landscape to life, allowing readers to feel as if they were alongside the explorers themselves. Lighton's writing style was characterized by an engaging and evocative prose that sought to educate as well as entertain. His contribution to American historical literature was not confined to 'Lewis and Clark'; he authored other works that reflected his diverse literary capabilities, spanning from social commentary to fiction.
