About the author
Born in 1878 and dying in 1963, Lewis Edwin Theiss was an American writer, journalist, and teacher. Reliable sources found here describe him as a freelance magazine writer, a professor of journalism at Bucknell University, and the author of adventure books for boys.
He is especially associated with fast-moving juvenile fiction, including wireless and aviation stories that reflected the excitement of new technologies in the early 1900s. His work appeared widely enough that several of his books are still listed in public-domain and library catalogs today.
