His experiences in the Union Navy during the Civil War significantly influenced his early works, including "Frank on a Gunboat" and "Frank on the Lower Mississippi." Born in Randolph, New York, and educated in Buffalo, he began writing as a teenager, eventually becoming the most popular author for boys during the golden age of children's literature.
