George Barr McCutcheon was an American novelist and playwright born on July 26, 1866, in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. He is best known for his popular "Graustark" series, a collection of romantic adventure novels set in a fictional Eastern European country. McCutcheon's work gained considerable popularity in the early 20th century, earning him a prominent place in American literature of the time. McCutcheon began his career as a journalist, working for newspapers in Lafayette, Indiana and later in Chicago. His transition to fiction writing brought him widespread acclaim with the publication of his first major novel, "Graustark: The Story of a Love Behind a Throne" in 1901. The success of this novel led to several sequels, including "Beverly of Graustark" and "Truxton King," which captivated readers with their tales of romance, political intrigue, and adventure. In addition to the Graustark series, McCutcheon wrote numerous standalone novels, many of which also achieved significant popularity. "Brewster's Millions," published in 1902, is one of his most famous works. Despite his success as a novelist, McCutcheon remained humble and dedicated to his craft. He continued to write prolifically throughout his life, producing a substantial body of work that includes both novels and plays.
