The Cruise of the Dry Dock by Thomas Sigismund Stribling
|
Stribling, Thomas Sigismund
|
T.S. Stribling, born in Clifton, Tennessee, grew up in an environment immersed in journalism and later worked in his parents' general store. While he aspired to become a writer, Stribling initially pursued a career in teaching, studying at Southern Normal College and the State Normal College. However, his true passion for writing prevailed, and he transitioned to full-time writing after a brief stint in law and journalism. Stribling's early works encompassed children's stories and adventure tales, but his breakthrough came with his serious novel, Birthright, published in 1922. Notably, his renowned trilogy comprising The Forge, The Store, and Unfinished Cathedral depicted the fortunes and decline of the fictional Vaiden family of Florence. While Stribling continued to write a mix of popular and serious novels until 1938, his later years saw him primarily focusing on publishing short stories in magazines until his retirement in 1955.

The End of the Dance by Hudson Strode
|
Strode, Hudson
|
Hudson Strode, born in Cairo, Illinois, experienced several relocations during his childhood before settling in Demopolis, Alabama. With a keen interest in drama from a young age, Strode actively participated in theatrical activities and pursued his education at the University of Alabama, where he later became an English literature and public speaking instructor. While World War I exempted him from military service, Strode organized troop entertainment during this period. Following bouts of poor health, he dedicated himself to writing, publishing travel books and a three-volume biography of Jefferson Davis, although his sympathetic portrayal of Davis drew mixed responses. Strode's teaching career spanned twenty-five years, during which he mentored aspiring writers and helped them secure publishing opportunities. He received notable recognition, including a knighthood from King Gustav Adolf of Sweden, and retired in 1963 but continued writing until his later years. The Hoole Special Collections Library at the University of Alabama holds a collection of his papers.
