About the author

Edward C. Taylor is credited as the author of the Ted Strong books, a series of adventure stories published in the 1910s and preserved in collections such as Project Gutenberg. The books were written for young readers and lean into western settings, danger, quick escapes, and steady cliffhanger energy.

Very little biographical information about the writer could be confirmed from the sources I found. Because of that, it is safest to remember Edward C. Taylor mainly through the work itself: brisk, plot-driven stories from the early twentieth century that reflect the tastes of popular adventure fiction of their time.
