About the author
Marshall Moreton was an American author born in 1854. The clearest published record tied to him today is The Dance of Dinwiddie, issued in 1912 and preserved in library and public-domain catalogs.
Because reliable biographical information about him is scarce in the sources available online, much of his life remains hard to pin down with confidence. Even so, the survival of his work in major library collections and ebook archives has helped keep his name in circulation for modern readers.
A sparse historical trail can sometimes make an author more interesting rather than less: the writing has to do the talking. For listeners drawn to overlooked voices from the past, Moreton offers exactly that kind of discovery.
