Ned Buntline (1823-1886)

He was an American adventurer and writer whose given name was Edward Zane Carroll Judson, but he wrote under the name Ned Buntline. In 1845, he founded Ned Buntline’s Own, a sensational magazine in Nashville. After being lynched in 1846 for a murder, but secretly cut down alive and released, he went to New York City, where he resumed the magazine. In the 1850s he turned up in St. Louis as an organizer of the Know-Nothing movement. After 1846 Buntline wrote more than 400 novels which were forerunners of the dime novels.
