Autorenporträt
Lemuel Ely Quigg (1863-1919) was an American journalist, politician, and author, primarily remembered for his distinctive contributions to literature and public life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Chautauqua County, New York, Quigg climbed the ranks from reporter to editor, eventually becoming the owner and editor-in-chief of the storied New York 'Press.' Quigg's foray into politics saw him serving as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 14th congressional district from 1895 to 1897. As a literary figure, Quigg was best known for his insightful portrayal of urban life during his time. His notable work, 'Tin-Types Taken in the Streets of New York,' offers a tapestry of stories that serve as character sketches of New Yorkers from various walks of life. This compilation exemplifies Quigg's narrative prowess and keen observations-a hallmark of journalistic acumen that marries factual reporting with the evocative language of realism. Quigg's style is marked by its vivid detail and a candid approach to character portrayal that renders his subjects with both sympathy and a degree of critical distance. In addition to his writing and political endeavors, Quigg was an influential figure in Republican politics, playing a significant role in the nomination of William McKinley for president in 1896. His multifaceted career underscores a life dedicated to public service and a passionate engagement with the world through the written word.
