Biography
Edward Noyes Westcott was an American banker who began writing "David Harum" while he was recuperating from tuberculosis. He finished his book late in 1896, but failed to live to see its publication in the fall of 1898. "David Harum" went on to sell over a million copies during the decades before the Second World War, and spawned two film adaptations.
