Description: The Rover Boys on the Great Lakes (1901) by by Arthur M. Winfield Edward L. Stratemeyer (October 4, 1862 - May 10, 1930) was an American publisher and writer of childrens fiction. He was one of the most prolific writers in the world, producing in excess of 1,300 books himself, selling in excess of 500 million copies. He also created many well-known fictional book series for juveniles, including The Rover Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew series, many of which sold millions of copies and are still in publication today. On Stratemeyers legacy, Fortune wrote: "As oil had its Rockefeller, literature had its Stratemeyer.Stratemeyer was born the youngest of six children in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Henry Julius Stratemeyer, a tobacconist, and Anna Siegel. They were both from Hanover, Germany, immigrating to the United States in 1837. Although they were German, he and his siblings were educated in English and spoke English to each other. Growing up, Edward read the likes of Horatio Alger and William T. Adams, writers who penned beloved rags-to-riches tales of the hardworking young American. These stories greatly influenced him.[5] As a teenager, Stratemeyer operated his own printing press in the basement of his fathers tobacco shop, distributing flyers and pamphlets among his friends and family. These included stories called The Newsboys Adventure and The Tale of a Lumberman. After he graduated from high school, he went to work in his fathers store. It wasnt until the age of 26 in 1888 that Stratemeyer sold his first story, Victor Hortons Idea, to the popular childrens magazine Golden Days for $76-over six times the average weekly paycheck at the time.
