| Writer, born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, USA. He studied at Hamilton (1851 BA), worked as a railroad surveyor in Missouri (1853–4), then returned to school to take a law degree at the University of Pennsylvania (1858). He practised law in Chicago until 1860, before moving to Hartford, CT to work as an editor for the Evening Press (which merged with the Hartford Courant in 1867). He travelled to Europe often, and wrote many travel sketches and essays, but is remembered now for only his first novel, which he co-wrote with Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1873). |
