Everett T. (Everett Titsworth) Tomlinson

Born in 1859, Everett Titsworth Tomlinson was an American writer, teacher, and clergyman who produced a large body of fiction and nonfiction for young readers. Library and catalog records connect him with dozens of books, and reference sources describe him as especially known for historical writing for children.

A recurring theme in his work was early American history. Books such as A Short History of the American Revolution and many of his adventure stories show how often he returned to the Revolutionary era, presenting it in a way meant to be engaging and accessible rather than dry.

Tomlinson died in 1931, but his stories have remained available through library collections and public-domain archives. That long afterlife makes him a familiar name to readers who enjoy classic boys' adventure fiction and older historical tales for younger audiences.
