About the author
Levi Worthington Green was an American author born in 1858. Available records show that he wrote at least two adventure novels for younger readers: Boy Fugitives in Mexico (1914) and Two American Boys in the War Zone (1915), the latter presented as a sequel to the first.
His life also appears in connection with writer Julia Boynton Green, whom he married in 1890. A biographical source on Julia Boynton Green says the family later settled in Redlands, California, where he became an orange rancher as well as an author.
Much about Green remains hard to confirm from easily available sources, but the books linked to his name suggest a taste for fast-moving stories set against real political conflict. That mix of travel, danger, and world events gives his fiction an energetic period charm.
