John Ruse Larus

John Ruse Larus, born in 1858, is listed in major library and book-record sources as the author of Women of America. His work also appears in older bibliographic records under the form John Rouse Larus, so the two names are associated in catalog listings.

Women of America was published in 1908 and has remained accessible through public-domain and library collections, which suggests it kept some lasting interest as a general historical survey. Available records point to Larus as a nonfiction writer and contributor connected with historical and reference-style works rather than as a novelist or poet.

Reliable biographical detail beyond his authorship is scarce in the sources I could confirm, so much of his personal life remains unclear. No suitable verified portrait image was found on the pages available during this search.
