John Hubert Greusel

Born in 1868, John Hubert Greusel was an American author whose published work shows a strong interest in history, politics, and public life. Library and catalog records connect him with books including Blood and Iron (1915), a study of Bismarck and the rise of the German Empire, and Origins of Democracy (1923), a sweeping account of social and political change.

His surviving bibliography suggests a writer who liked large subjects and direct, accessible storytelling more than narrowly academic scholarship. Records also link him to works such as The Story of an Anti-Ripper Candidate, and period references indicate he wrote for newspapers as well.

Reliable catalog sources identify him as living from 1868 to 1946. Beyond those publication facts, biographical details about his personal life appear to be scarce in easily confirmed public sources, which makes him one of those authors better remembered through his books than through a well-documented public profile.
