Bio
(1838-1888) Fiction writer. Edward Payson Roe was born in Moodna, New York and died in Cornwall. He was also a pastor in Highland Falls, New York, approximately a mile from West Point. There his addresses on topics of the Civil War gained for him some notice as a speaker. In 1874 he removed to Cornwall-on-Hudson, where he farmed and turned out a series of novels which sold well (759,000 copies, it was estimated, at his death) and met with wide-spread interest but lacked distinction or literary quality.
