Emerson Bennett(I)
- Writer
Emerson Bennett (1822-1905) was in his day considered among the top
fiction writers in America. He was one of the earliest and probably the
most successful author of that period to write romantic adventure
stories about the American West. By the time of his death at age 83,
Bennett was largely unknown to the majority of the reading public not
old enough to be entertained by his stories in their youth. Bennett was
born in Monson, Massachusetts and passed away at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
