About the author
Ernest Flagg Henderson was an American historian, editor, and translator born in 1861 and died in 1928. Library and public-domain records consistently identify him as the author of works including A History of Germany in the Middle Ages, A Short History of Germany, and Select Historical Documents of the Middle Ages.
His writing centered on European history, especially Germany and the medieval period. He is still remembered for combining narrative history with source material, helping readers move from broad historical storytelling to the original documents behind it.
Because the available sources located here are mainly catalog and archive records rather than full biographical essays, only a limited outline of his life can be confirmed with confidence. Even so, those records show a productive scholarly career and a body of work that remained important enough to be preserved by Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, the Library of Congress, and other major collections.
