Autorenporträt

George Horton was born on October 11, 1859, in Fairville, New York. He became a distinguished member of the United States diplomatic service, holding various consular positions in Greece and the Ottoman Empire between 1893 and 1924. Throughout his career, Horton was deeply involved in diplomatic relations, particularly in the region of Smyrna, where he served as the U.S. Consul or Consul General for two terms, from 1911 to 1917 and again from 1919 to 1922. His work in these regions exposed him to the political and cultural tensions of the time, particularly during significant events such as the Greco-Turkish War and the aftermath of World War I. Horton s experiences in these areas not only influenced his career but also inspired his literary works. His most notable literary contribution was in the form of historical novels, often drawing from his experiences in the Mediterranean. George Horton passed away on June 5, 1942, at the age of 82. He had one child, Nancy Horton, and is remembered for both his diplomatic service and his contributions to literature.
