About the author
Born in 1861 and dying in 1924, Edward Ingle worked as a newspaper editor in Baltimore and Richmond, Virginia. Reliable reference sources describe him as an editor of the Richmond Times and the Manufacturers Record, as well as an author whose books focused on the South, public institutions, and historical subjects.
His writing covered a wide range of topics. Among the works associated with him are The Negro in the District of Columbia, Southern Sidelights, and studies of Maryland and Virginia institutions. That mix of journalism and historical research gives his books a practical, observant feel.
Ingle is remembered less as a literary celebrity than as a careful recorder of places, systems, and social conditions. For listeners interested in regional history, Reconstruction-era questions, and older nonfiction shaped by newspaper experience, his work offers a direct window into its time.
