About the author

Joseph Alexander Altsheler was an American newspaper reporter, editor and author of popular juvenile historical fiction. He was a prolific writer, and produced fifty-one novels and at least fifty-three short stories. Thirty-two of his novels were part of his seven series:

The Civil War Series (8 volumes)
The French and Indian War Series (6 volumes)
The Gold Series (2 volumes)
The Great West Series (2 volumes)
The Texan Series (3 volumes)
The World War Series (3 volumes)
The Young Trailers Series (8 volumes)

Although each of the thirty-two novels constitutes an independent story, Altsheler suggested a reading order for each series (i.e., he numbered the volumes). The remaining nineteen novels can be read in any order. [Note, however, that A Knight of Philadelphia was later expanded through the addition of nineteen chapters and some minor tweaks to become Mr. Altsheler's novel In Hostile Red.]

The short stories, of course, can be read in any order. However, some readers might prefer to read them in the order in which they were published. The short story list below is displayed in chronological order with the publication dates shown alongside the titles.

Reviews

[Didi Mack]

Written in the 40’s so the view of Indians is dated. But the history and views of the times are fascinating. Not written for adults, actually written for teens. However, I don’t think teens of today would be interested.

[Terry Truffin]

Historical Fiction at Its Best

Altsheler was a master of 19th century Adventure because he lived in that time, knew the history and painted pictures with his stories. Anyone loving history, action and the art of the story will lose themselves in this wonderful collection.

[Terrell Tucker]

I listened to all of his books using Librivox audio downloads. Awesome stories that I'll never forget!
