Autorenporträt
St. George Henry Rathborne was a prolific American writer born on December 26, 1854, in Covington, Kentucky, to parents whose names are not publicly documented. Over the course of a career that spanned six decades, Rathborne wrote extensively for young readers and popular audiences under his own name and numerous pseudonyms, including Harrison Adams. He became a prominent contributor to the world of dime novels and serialized adventure stories, a popular literary form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rathborne's output is estimated to exceed 330 volumes, encompassing adventure tales, frontier narratives, and stories of exploration and heroism. His work was characterized by its fast-paced storytelling, moral undertones, and appeal to the imaginations of young readers, especially boys seeking tales of courage and action. Despite working largely in genres often dismissed as lowbrow, Rathborne's remarkable productivity and enduring popularity reflected a deep connection with his audience. He died on December 16, 1938, in Newark, New Jersey, just shy of his 84th birthday, leaving behind a substantial legacy in American popular fiction.
