Charles Morris (American writer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Morris (1833-1922) was a prolific American writer. He wrote dime novels. Like many of the dime novelists, he wrote under a variety of pseudonyms.

He also compiled a series Historical Tales. These are retold legends and historical events meant to be read for enjoyment rather than used as texts.

Immediately after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, he was sent by his publisher to write a first-hand report on the aftermath.
