About the author

Montgomery B. Gibbs was an American author active in the 1890s. Records from the Library of Congress identify him as the author of Military Career of Napoleon the Great, published in Chicago in 1895, while other library and catalog listings also credit him with A Golden Legacy to the Gibbs Family in America from 1893.

The surviving record suggests a writer with wide-ranging interests rather than a widely documented public figure. One book focuses on Napoleon and military history, aiming to tell the story of famous campaigns for a general audience, while the other turns inward to genealogy and family legacy.

Very little biographical information about his life appears to be readily available in major public sources. What remains clearest today is the small body of historical and genealogical work published under his name.
