Everett T. (Everett Titsworth) Tomlinson

Everett T. Tomlinson was an American author whose full name was Everett Titsworth Tomlinson, and library records identify him as living from 1859 to 1931. He wrote widely for young readers, especially books tied to American history and adventure.

His work ranges across the Revolutionary era, the War of 1812, frontier subjects, and biographies or stories connected with military leaders. Titles associated with him include Stories of the American Revolution, A Lieutenant Under Washington, The Boy Officers of 1812, and Scouting with Daniel Boone, showing how strongly he returned to moments of national drama and exploration.

Tomlinson also presented history in a more direct nonfiction style. The introduction to Young Folks' History of the American Revolution says the book grew out of requests he received while lecturing on the Revolution, which suggests he saw himself not just as a storyteller but also as a guide to the past for younger audiences. His books often aim to make big historical events feel personal, immediate, and readable.
