Fosdick, known as Harry Castlemon, was a significant figure in juvenile literature, particularly for boys, during the golden age of children's literature. His background as a Union Navy member during the Civil War influenced his early works, including "Frank on a Gunboat" and "Frank on the Lower Mississippi." Born in 1842 in New York, he began writing as a teenager and became the most popular author for boys in the post-war period, leaving a lasting impact on juvenile storytelling.
