Autorenporträt
Ridgwell Cullum was a British author known for his prolific output of adventure novels, often set in the sparsely populated regions of the United States and Canada. Born in London on August 13, 1867, Cullum developed a deep interest in frontier life and wilderness landscapes, which greatly influenced his literary works. His writing career spanned over 30 years, during which he created numerous novels that captured the spirit of adventure, exploration, and the challenges faced by people in remote and often harsh environments. Cullum's works were popular for their vivid descriptions of the landscapes and the characters that inhabited them, with many stories focusing on themes of survival, conflict, and personal growth. He passed away on November 3, 1943, in Newton Abbot, United Kingdom, leaving behind a legacy of adventure fiction that continues to be appreciated by readers of the genre. Cullum's parents were also from London, and while not much is known about his family background, his writing reflects a keen understanding of both human nature and the vast, untamed lands that he portrayed in his books.
