About the author
Born in 1880 and deceased in 1955, Daniel Henderson was an American author whose work crossed several genres. Records of his books show poetry collections such as Life's Minstrel and A Harp in the Winds, alongside prose works including "Great-Heart": The Life Story of Theodore Roosevelt, Jungle Roads and Other Trails of Roosevelt, The Country We Forgot, and Pirate Princes and Yankee Jacks.
Biographical listings describe him as having worked in journalism and magazine publishing, including time on the staff of McClure's Magazine and the New York Evening Post. That background helps explain the broad, readable style of his books, which often blend literary interest with popular history and biography.
Although he is not widely known today, Henderson's career reflects a period when writers regularly moved between magazines, poetry, and narrative nonfiction. His surviving books suggest a versatile author interested in both the imaginative side of writing and the drama of real lives and events.
