Autorenporträt

Edward Sylvester Ellis (April 11, 1840 – June 20, 1916) was an American author best known for his prodigious literary output. Educated as a teacher, Ellis pivoted to a career in writing, penning hundreds of books and stories under his name and various pseudonyms. He is frequently celebrated for his contribution to the genre of dime novels, captivating a young audience with adventures of the American frontier. His work is often characterized by fast-paced narratives and a celebration of American virtues and pioneer spirit. Ellis's historical text, 'The Life and Times of Col. Daniel Boone, Hunter, Soldier, and Pioneer', showcases his meticulous attention to historical detail and his deep admiration for American heroes. The biography, which follows Boone's adventurous life from his Pennsylvania childhood to his vital role in the westward expansion of the United States, is not only a testament to Boone's legend but also reflects Ellis's literary style – a blending of fact and legend narrated with an engaging prose that appealed to both young and adult readers. While scholarship has evolved, Ellis's biography remains a significant piece of Boone historiography and a mirror to the 19th-century American cultural landscape. His work broadly captured the imaginations of his readers while contributing to the mythos of American folk heroes and the nation's collective memory.
