John Trotwood Moore (1858-1929) enjoyed moderate success in the varied literary roles of novelist, historian, journalist, and magazine editor. Moore's talents as a local color writer and humorist are founded in his rural background. His first 26 years were spent in Alabama, and the remainder of his life in Tennessee. In 1911, Moore published Jack Ballington, Forester, a melodramatic romance that also addressed forest conservation.
