Edward Howard
Captain Edward Howard (1793 - 1841) is almost unknown to modern audiences, however, his writing has been favorably compared to that of Tobias Smollett and Herman Melville. If you enjoy those writers, and especially if you love the works of his friend and fellow captain Frederick Marryat, you'll love Edward Howard's
One of his works, Rattlin, the Reefer was edited by Marryat and for several generations people thought it was actually written by him because it was that good. His other works tended not to have an authors name but be described as 'By the Author of Rattlin, the Reefer'. Accordingly these are also often wrongly attributed to Marryat. Many of his novels are not copyright in many countries and some are available as free eBooks in the online store.
