About the author
Born in 1870, Edward Marshall was an American journalist, war correspondent, and author who wrote both nonfiction and fiction. Library and catalog records for his books show a wide-ranging career that included novels as well as reported works tied to major events of his time.
He is especially remembered for The Story of the Rough Riders, 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, published in 1899, a book connected with the Spanish-American War and Theodore Roosevelt's famous regiment. Other surviving records link him to later works such as The Red Triangle in the War Zone and The United States of Europe, suggesting an author interested not only in battle reporting but also in international affairs and public questions.
Sources found during this search consistently identify him as a journalist and war correspondent who lived from 1870 to 1933. I wasn't able to confirm enough reliable detail about his personal life to go further than that, but his bibliography clearly shows a writer who brought a reporter's eye to dramatic subjects.
