Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

American journalist and author Addison Irving Bacheller was born on September 26, 1859, and passed away on February 24, 1950. He established the nation's first contemporary newspaper syndicate. Irving Bacheller, a Pierrepont, New York native, began his career with the Daily Hotel Reporter after earning his degree from St. Lawrence University in 1882. By 1883, he was employed by the Brooklyn Daily Times. After two years, he started a company to supply the big Sunday newspapers with specialist stories. He introduced British writers like Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Joseph Conrad to American readers via the Bacheller Syndicate. Additionally, he forged a collaboration with the youthful writer and journalist Stephen Crane, whose book The Red Badge of Courage rose to fame following its syndication. A few years later, Crane was hired by Bacheller to cover the war in Cuba during the uprising against Spain; however, during the voyage, Crane's ship sank off the coast of Florida, leaving him for two days on a dinghy. This event led in his short tale "The Open Boat".
