About the author
Henry Mann was a Scottish-born writer and compiler of popular history, born on March 25, 1848, and deceased in 1915. Library and archive records link him to books including Handbook for American Citizens; or, Things Every Patriot Should Know (1895), Turning Points in the World's History (1897), and The Land We Live In (1897).
His books were written for general readers rather than specialists, with a clear educational aim and a straightforward style. The subjects he chose suggest a strong interest in civic knowledge, national history, and big-picture historical storytelling.
Reliable biographical details beyond his dates and published works are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this sketch stays close to the record. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the pages I checked.
