About the Author

Ernest Poole (1880 - 1950) was a U.S. novelist. He was born in
Chicago, Illinois on 23 Jan 1880, and graduated from Princeton
University in 1902. He worked as a journalist and was active in
promoting social reforms including the ending of child labor. He
was a correspondent for the Saturday Evening Post in Europe before
and during World War I. His novel The Harbor has remained the work
for which he is best known. It presents a strong socialist message,
set in the industrial Brooklyn waterfront. It is considered one of
the first fictional works to offer a positive view of unions. His
portrait of a New York family titled His Family made him the first
recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1918. In 1917, for
The New Republic magazine he went to Russia to report on the
Russian Revolution. He died in Franconia, NH on 10 Jan 1950.
