John Townsend Trowbridge (September 18, 1827 – February 12, 1916) was an American author. ==Early life==
Trowbridge was born in Ogden, New York, to Windsor Stone Trowbridge and Rebecca Willey. His birthplace was a log cabin his father constructed through the use of wooden pegs. Trowbridge received an unremarkable education, but had an early interest in literature. He recalled in his autobiography that he wrote his first poem at age 13. His first published work was published anonymously in the ''Rochester Republican'' when he was 16.〔Zboray, Ronald J. and Mary Saracino Zboray. ''Literary Dollars and Social Sense: A People's History of the Mass Market Book''. New York: Routledge, 2005: 70. ISBN 0-415-94984-X〕 He started working as a teacher and on a farm for one year in Illinois. In 1847, at age 19, he moved to New York City to become an author and, with the assistance of Mordecai Manuel Noah, began publishing in periodicals while also working at a pencil case engraving factory.〔Zboray, Ronald J. and Mary Saracino Zboray. ''Literary Dollars and Social Sense: A People's History of the Mass Market Book''. New York: Routledge, 2005: 71. ISBN 0-415-94984-X〕 He moved to Boston in August 1848, and in 1850, during the absence of Benjamin Perley Poore in Washington, D.C., edited Poore's paper, the ''Sentinel'', but his editorial on the fugitive-slave law nearly destroyed the paper's popularity. He married Cornelia Warren (May 1, 1834 – March 23, 1864) in 1860. In June 1867 Trowbridge bought a house at 152 Pleasant Street, Arlington, Massachusetts where he lived until his death in 1916. Trowbridge also spent much time in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he built Spouting Rock Cottage, near to ''Spouting Rock'' and ''Blowing Cave'', both of which he named.
