Notes

From EBSCO, Author Jack Ewing, published 2024
Frederick Irving Anderson was born on November 24, 1877, in Aurora, Illinois. After graduating from college in 1898, he worked as a journalist for the New York World until 1908 and began writing short stories prior to World War I. He is recognized for his innovative mystery story "The Unknown Man" (1911), which introduced the inverted detective tale format where the criminal is known from the start, focusing instead on the pursuit of justice. Anderson contributed to the Saturday Evening Post, publishing over 50 stories between 1913 and 1937. He continued to write until his death on December 24, 1947, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
