Overview of this Site

Welcome ! 

This website is dedicated to the life and writings of my great-grandfather, Harry  Stillwell Edwards (1855-1938). Harry was a talented and prolific writer. He wrote hundreds of poems, shorts stories, novels, newspaper editorial columns, and advertisements. He is most famous for writing the story of Eneas Africanus and the novel Sons and Fathers.  

Harry led a truly remarkable life, selling newspapers at the age of 6 in Macon, Georgia during the Civil War, working in the U.S. Treasury Department as a teenager, studying law, becoming a close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Ford, serving as Postmaster General of the U.S. Post Office  in Macon, Georgia, among many other noteworthy accomplishments. 

I hope you will enjoy learning about Harry Stillwell Edwards.                        Sincerely,
