Known for a spooky adventure tale set in a mining camp, this early 20th-century writer published fiction for younger readers and magazine audiences. His surviving public record is thin, which gives his work an old-library air of mystery all its own.

About the author
Edward P. Hendrick is a little-documented American author remembered today mainly for Copper Coleson's Ghost, a juvenile adventure story with haunted-house and ghost-story elements. The book was published by L. C. Page & Company, and it has remained accessible through public-domain and reprint editions.
Evidence from periodical archives also shows that he wrote shorter fiction for young readers, including work published in The Youth's Companion. Beyond those publications, reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in easily verified public sources.
That limited record makes Hendrick one of those authors whose books have outlasted the paper trail around them. For modern listeners, his appeal lies in that mix of vintage storytelling, atmosphere, and the sense of rediscovering a half-forgotten voice from an earlier era.
