Autorenporträt
Joseph Holt Ingraham was born on January 26, 1809, in Portland, Maine, to James Milk Ingraham. Early in life, he spent several years at sea, an experience that likely broadened his worldview and contributed to the vivid narrative settings in his later literary works. After his maritime years, he turned to teaching, working as a language instructor in Mississippi. During the 1840s, he began publishing his writings in various periodicals, including Arthur's Magazine, marking the beginning of a prolific literary career. Ingraham authored numerous novels, many of them historical or religious in nature, characterized by dramatic storytelling and strong moral undertones. His best-known works often focused on biblical settings or themes of spiritual conflict and redemption. On March 7, 1852, he became an Episcopal clergyman, a role that complemented his religious writing and reflected his deepening commitment to theological thought. He continued both his clerical and literary pursuits until his death on December 18, 1860, in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Throughout his life, Ingraham remained dedicated to exploring the intersections of faith, history, and narrative, leaving a lasting mark on American religious and historical fiction.
