Hough's early works included "The Singing Mouse Stories", for children, and the nonfiction "The Story of the Cowboy". He had his first major success in 1902 with his novel "The Mississippi Bubble", which became a bestseller.

Autorenporträt

American writer Emerson Hough (1857 1923) was well-known for his large body of historical writing, essays, and novels, especially in the western fiction genre. Hough, who was born in Newton, Iowa, on June 28, 1857, was greatly impacted by the American West's scenery and people. He briefly practiced law after earning his law degree from the University of Iowa in 1880 before deciding to become a writer. Hough's early western-themed writings, such as "The Story of the Cowboy" (1897), launched his literary career and solidified his status as a western fiction author. His books "The Mississippi Bubble" (1902) and "The Covered Wagon" (1922), the latter of which was made into a popular silent film, won him significant praise. Hough wrote on the spirit of exploration, adventure, and hardy individuality of the American frontier throughout his life. His writings contributed to the romanticization of the West in American literature by frequently capturing the struggles and victories of settlers, cowboys, and pioneers.
