Description

The literary works of Charles King particularly on American Indians include different outlooks in his writings. He showed his empathy for defending and fighting for their territories, and being strained to live a life different from theirs. King continued to illustrate them as violent and vicious people. He also wrote his novels to severely reproach the government of the United States, bringing about Indian treatises that were not granted and proliferated corruption in the government itself. He was a lieutenant in the 5th Cavalry, taking part on the United States western frontier, who fought in the battles with Southwestern and Plains Indians and diligently abiding by the government standards. He is highly regarded in the present as the author who ascertained the Western novel as a genre of romance and drama in American literature.

Charles King was born on October 12, 1844 and died on March 17, 1933. He was an American soldier and a remarkable author.

He was born in New York, Albany, his father was the general of the Civil War, Rufus King, his grandfather was Charles King, the president of the Columbia University and his great grandfather was Rufus King, among those who signed the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia.

He was injured in the arm and head during the Battle of Sunset Pass causing him to retire early as a captain from the regular army in 1879. Throughout that time, he became affiliated with Buffalo Bill Cody. Later, King became a scriptwriter for some of Cody’s silent movies. He also served in the military in the Wisconsin National Guard from 1882 until 1897, as an Adjutant General in 1895.
