He wrote for a number of publications, including the Army and Navy Journal, the Galaxy, the Fireside Companion and for Beadle’s Young New Yorker, Saturday Journal, and the Banner Weekly. His most productive efforts involved writing “nickel” novels and “dime” novels. In 1874 “Captain Fred” was hired as the editor of The National Guard, and later, assistant editor of The Army and Navy Journal. Two years later, he resigned to write his “Complete Life of General George A. Custer.”
In 1884, Whittaker penned a colorful story, for Beadle’s New York Dime Library, creating a colorful character, a Land Surveyor named Seth Slocum. The story follows Slocum and his cohorts as they fought their way across the Wild West, to recover a stolen surveyor’s field book, from the Great Sitting Bull.visualizza meno
