EDWARD S. ELLIS
Edward S. Ellis, the popular writer of boys' books, is a native ofOhio, where he was born somewhat more than a half-century ago. Hisfather was a famous hunter and rifle shot, and it was doubtless hisexploits and those of his associates, with their tales of adventurewhich gave the son his taste for the breezy backwoods and for depictingthe stirring life of the early settlers on the frontier.
Mr. Ellis began writing at an early age and his work was acceptable fromthe first. His parents removed to New Jersey while he was a boy and hewas graduated from the State Normal School and became a member of thefaculty while still in his teens. He was afterward principal of theTrenton High School, a trustee and then superintendent of schools. Bythat time his services as a writer had become so pronounced that he gavehis entire attention to literature. He was an exceptionally successfulteacher and wrote a number of text-books for schools, all of which metwith high favor. For these and his historical productions, PrincetonCollege conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts.
The high moral character, the clean, manly tendencies and the admirableliterary style of Mr. Ellis' stories have made him as popular on theother side of the Atlantic as in this country. A leading paper remarkedsome time since, that no mother need hesitate to place in the hands ofher boy any book written by Mr. Ellis. They are found in the leadingSunday-school libraries, where, as may well be believed, they are inwide demand and do much good by their sound, wholesome lessons whichrender them as acceptable to parents as to their children. Nearly all ofthe Ellis books published by The John C. Winston Company are reissued inLondon, and many have been translated into other languages. Mr. Ellis isa writer of varied accomplishments, and, in addition to his stories, isthe author of historical works, of a number of pieces of popular music,and has made several valuable inventions. Mr. Ellis is in the prime ofhis mental and physical powers, and great as have been the merits of hispast achievements, there is reason to look for more brilliantproductions from his pen in the near future.
