 Bronson Howard (born October 7, 1842 in Detroit; died August 4, 1908 in Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey) was a well-known American dramatist. He prepared for college at New Haven, Conn., but instead of entering Yale he turned to Journalism in New York. From 1867 to 1872 he worked on several newspapers, among them the Evening Mail and the Tribune. As early as 1864 he had written a dramatic piece (Fantine) which was played in Detroit. His first important play was Saratoga, produced by Augustin Daly in 1870. It was very successful and became the first of a long series of pieces which gave Mr. Howard a foremost position among American playwrights. Among his other best-known plays are:
In 1899 he collaborated with Brander Matthews in Peter Stuyvesant. He married a sister of Sir Charles Wyndham, the English actor, and he had homes both in New York and London, where some of his plays were no less popular than in America. Bronson Howard was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
