Thomas Mayne Reid
A Pictorial Bibliography
Mayne Reid (1818-1883) was a prolific Irish author of mainly
adventure stories. His works were published by numerous firms beginning
in the late 1840’s into the early 1900’s. American and English editions
may be the most common but his books were published in numerous
countries, ranging from France to Russia to Spain to Turkey to Norway,
etc.
Although he was born in Ireland, he emigrated to the United States in
1840. He was a war correspondent and a lieutenant in the New York
Infantry but he was mostly known as an author.
This site is not a biographical one. There are many other places to
study Mayne Reid's life. In particular see "Mayne Reid, A Memoir of
His Life by Elizabeth Reid, His Widow" and Captain Mayne Reid by Joan
Steele, Twayne Publishers. My goal here is to
produce a comprehensive pictorial bibliography of Reid's American
works. As with all bibliographies, this one is a work in progress.
Please offer any comments and/or criticisms.
Thanks,
