Robert Phillipse
Biography“Lieut. Robert Phillipse, U. S. N.” is the listed author of The Cruiser of the Chesapeake; or, The Pride of the Nansemond, No. 74 of the Beadle’s Dime Novels series, but absolutely nothing is known about him other than that some of his work was also credited to Charles Wentworth, suggesting they are the same person and that one name at least must have been a pen name.
It’s a doggone shame when people who created something worthwhile, something that will last essentially forever to be enjoyed by other people, are themselves forgotten and fade into anonymity.
