Edward Sylvester Ellis
Edward Sylvester Ellis

Edward Sylvester Ellis (1840-1916) was an American author who was born in Ohio and died at Cliff Island, Maine.

Ellis was a teacher, school administrator, and journalist, but his most notable work was that that he performed as author of hundreds of dime novels that he produced under his name and a number of noms de plume. Notable works by Ellis include The Huge Hunter, or the Steam Man of the Prairies and Seth Jones, or the Captives of the Frontier.

In the mid-1880s, after a fiction-writing career of some thirty years, Ellis eventually turned his pen to more serious works of biography, history, and persuasive writing.
