William Gilmore Simms bol významný básnik, prozaik a historik z amerického Juhu, ktorého diela sa v 19. storočí tešili veľkej obľube, pričom Edgar Allan Poe ho vyhlásil za najlepšieho amerického prozaika. Hoci jeho romány v posledných desaťročiach upadli do nemilosti, literárni vedci ho stále uznávajú ako významnú postavu južanskej predvojnovej literatúry. Je tiež pripomínaný pre svoju silnú podporu otroctva.
