Author: Henry Dwight Sedgwick

Henry Dwight Sedgwick wrote Francis Parkman, a biographical study of the American historian issued by Houghton, Mifflin and Company in 1904. The fuller heading American Men of Letters Francis Parkman joins the series designation to the individual book title. A digitized copy identifies Sedgwick as author and Parkman as its subject, while an independent library record confirms the publisher, year, and placement in the American Men of Letters series. The volume's subtitle further identifies it as a biographical study adapted for readers from Parkman's historical works and the personal record of his life. This work represents Sedgwick's contribution to a publisher's sequence of volumes centered on American authors. Readers approaching him through the catalogue title can therefore distinguish the book's subject, Francis Parkman, from the series name that precedes it.
