About the author
Born in Detroit in 1866, Frederic Stewart Isham was an American novelist and playwright whose work centered on historical romance and adventure. Before focusing on books and plays, he worked on the editorial staff of the Detroit Free Press and other newspapers, a background that likely helped shape the pace and readability of his fiction.
Isham became known for popular novels such as The Strollers, Under the Rose, and The Lady of the Mount. His stories often blend romance, action, and period settings, and several of his stage works and novels found audiences in the theater as well as in print.
Although he is not as widely remembered today as some of his contemporaries, Isham remains of interest to readers who enjoy early twentieth-century popular fiction with a dramatic, adventurous spirit.
