George Washington Platt

George Washington Platt was an American writer whose surviving published work is closely tied to political history. Project Gutenberg lists him as the author of A History of the Republican Party, a substantial historical study that has remained available to modern readers through its digitized edition.

Based on the evidence I could confirm here, Platt appears to have been active as a historian and commentator rather than as a novelist or poet. The available information is quite limited, so it is safest to describe him as an early-20th-century author remembered chiefly for that political history.

I wasn't able to confirm a reliable portrait image for him from the sources I checked, so no author photo is included.
