Про автора
Francis Parkman (1823–1893) was an American historian and writer whose work focuses primarily on the early history of North America. With a meticulous eye for detail and a dramatic storytelling style, he brought the American frontier and its historical figures vividly to life for his readers. Parkman graduated from Harvard College in 1844 and studied law briefly before dedicating himself to the literary arts and the study of history. His frail health and poor eyesight, which plagued him throughout his life, did not deter his determination to experience the American wilderness firsthand, a decision that deeply informed his historical writings. Parkman is best known for his multi-volume series ‘France and England in North America’, which includes acclaimed works such as ‘The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life’ and ‘Montcalm and Wolfe’. While ‘Vassall Morton’ (1856) is one of his lesser-known works, it shows a different facet of Parkman’s literary talent. Written as a novel, it diverged from his historical narrative style and did not achieve the same level of success. Despite this, Parkman’s contribution to American literature and historical writing remains significant, with his work characterized by rich description, narrative vigor, and a deep understanding of the complex forces at play in the making of the United States.
