Further Notes:

American author, Edward Sylvester Ellis, had a prolific career. He wrote under many pseudonyms, making attribution of all of his works tricky. He wrote books for children and adults and became one of the best known American novelists of his time. Ellis mainly wrote about the American frontier, but he also dabbled in the genres of detective fiction and science fiction (Camp).
