by Edson Leone Whitney, F. M. (Frances Melville) Perry
About the author
Born in 1861, Edson Leone Whitney was an American writer whose surviving published work ranges from historical studies to books written for young readers. Confirmed titles include Government of the Colony of South Carolina (1895), Four American Indians: King Philip, Pontiac, Tecumseh, Osceola (with Frances M. Perry, 1904), and The American Peace Society; a Centennial History.
His bibliography suggests a writer deeply interested in American history, public institutions, and reform movements. Some of his work was scholarly, while other books were designed to introduce major historical figures and events to a broader audience in a straightforward way.
I could confirm his birth year and several published works, but I did not find enough reliable biographical detail in the sources available here to say more with confidence.
