Daniel Henderson

Daniel Henderson was an American author and poet born in 1880 and died in 1955. Reliable catalog and archive records confirm a body of work that included poetry collections such as A Harp in the Winds and Life's Minstrel, along with prose works including The Country We Forgot and a Roosevelt-themed biography, "Great-Heart": The Life Story of Theodore Roosevelt.

His bibliography suggests a writer comfortable in more than one lane: verse, reflective nonfiction, and lively historical writing for general readers and younger audiences. Several of his books point to a recurring interest in Theodore Roosevelt and in subjects shaped by national character, memory, and adventure.

A great deal about his personal life is not easy to verify from the sources available here, but the surviving record shows a productive literary career and a writer whose books continued to be preserved in major library and archival collections.
