Autorenporträt
Charles King (1844-1933) was a prolific American author, who was renowned for his narrative skills and accurate depiction of military life. Born in New York, King pursued a career as a soldier, graduating from West Point in 1866 and eventually achieving the rank of Brigadier General. His experiences in the military deeply influenced his writing, as seen in his extensive collection of novels which often drew from his firsthand knowledge of army life and warfare. 'To the Front: A Sequel to Cadet Days,' is one such work that showcases his ability to blend adventure with authenticity, providing readers with a vivid depiction of a soldier's experiences. King's literary style was characterized by robust storytelling, with a sharp attention to detail-a reflection of his military precision. His books were not only entertaining but also provided outsiders with an educational glimpse into the daily rigors and the camaraderie of military academia and life on the field. Despite the abundance of military-themed literature during and after his time, King's works continued to be distinguished by critics for their realism and compelling characterizations. His contribution to the literature of American military fiction remains significant, and his writings continue to be of interest to those studying the cultural and historical aspects of military society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
