Autorenporträt

Edwin Lefevre was an American journalist, writer, and diplomat most known for his publications about Wall Street industry. George Edwin Henry Lefevre was born on January 23, 1871, in Colón, Colombia (now the Republic of Panama). He was the son of Emilia Luísa María Santiago de la Ossa, sister of Jeronimo and María de la Ossa de Amador, and Henry Lefevre (1841-1899). Henry was born in Jersey, the Channel Islands, and immigrated to the United States as a child. For many years, Henry served as the Pacific Steamship Company American's general agent in Panama. Their son, Edwin, had dual citizenship and was sent to the United States as a boy. He finished his study at Lehigh University, where he trained as a mining engineer. However, at the age of nineteen, he began his profession as a journalist, later becoming a stockbroker. Following his father's death, Edwin acquired considerable money and became an independent investor. While living in Hartsdale, New York, Edwin Lefèvre released a collection of his short stories titled Wall Street Stories in 1901. This was followed by other novels on money and finance until 1908, when Lefèvre, his wife Martha, and their children relocated to an estate in East Dorset, Vermont. Panama selected him as its ambassador to Spain and Italy in 1909.
