Fosdick, writing under the name Harry Castlemon, crafted engaging juvenile stories primarily for boys, drawing from his experiences in the Union Navy during the Civil War. His early works, such as "Frank on a Gunboat" and "Frank on the Lower Mississippi," reflect his naval background. As a prominent author in the post-Civil War period, he significantly contributed to the golden age of children's literature, becoming one of the most popular writers for young readers of his time.
