E. H. (Edward Henry) Nolan
Best known for vivid Victorian histories of war and empire, this British writer brought major 19th-century conflicts to a wide readership through large, illustrated volumes. The surviving record is thin, which gives his books an extra air of period mystery.

About the author
Edward Henry Nolan was a British author and historian active in the mid-19th century. The British Museum identifies him as an author/poet and specifically notes him as the historian behind The Illustrated History of the War against Russia, published in London in 1856.
Library and archive records connect him with several substantial historical works, especially on the Crimean War and on British rule in India. Among the titles attributed to him are The History of the War Against Russia, The Illustrated History of the War Against Russia, and The Illustrated History of the British Empire in India and the East.
Beyond those book records, biographical details appear to be scarce or uncertain. Because the available sources do not clearly confirm a fuller life story, he is best remembered through the ambitious, heavily illustrated histories he left behind rather than through a well-documented personal biography.
