H. Brackenridge

    Hugh Henry Brackenridge was a prominent figure in American letters and law. He is celebrated for his satirical novel, Modern Chivalry, widely considered the first significant fictional work about the American frontier. His prose is notable for its rambling, often whimsical style and its incisive commentary on American society. Through his writing, Brackenridge sought to capture the spirit and challenges of frontier life, establishing himself as one of the earliest distinctly American voices in literature.
