Ward Moore
Ward Moore (August 10, 1903 - January 28, 1978) was the working name of American author Joseph Ward Moore. Born in Madison, New Jersey, Moore grew up in New York City and later moved to Chicago and then to California.
Moore began publishing with the novel Breathe the Air Again in 1942. His most famous work is the alternate history novel Bring the Jubilee (1953). This novel, narrated by time traveler Hodge Backmaker, tells of a world in which the South won the American Civil War, leaving the North in ruins. Moore's other novels include Cloud By Day, which takes place in Topanga Canyon, CA; Greener Than You Think; Joyleg, co-authored with Avram Davidson; and Caduceus Wild, co-authored with Robert Bradford. Moore is also known for the two short stories (since collected) "Lot" (1953) and "Lot's Daughters" (1954) which are postapocalyptic tales with parallels to the Bible.
