Marshall Everett

Marshall Everett was an American author who lived from 1863 to 1939. Surviving catalog and library records show that he wrote a large number of popular nonfiction books, often focused on major public events, notable figures, and disasters.

He is especially associated with dramatic historical accounts such as The Story of the Wreck of the Titanic, along with books on the San Francisco earthquake, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and other subjects that drew wide public interest in his day. His books were written for general readers and were often designed to be immediate, accessible, and full of incident.

Although detailed biographical information appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, the record of his publications suggests a remarkably industrious career. Today, Everett is remembered mainly through digitized editions of his works in library and public-domain collections, where readers can still find the energetic storytelling style that made his books popular.
