Jesse Edward Grinstead
Jesse Edward Grinstead (October 16, 1866 – March 8, 1948), was an American publisher, editor, poet and politician who in later life became a popular writer of Western fiction. Over his writing career Grinstead penned some 30 novels along with scores of short stories and articles that appeared in magazines and newspapers. At least two of his stories, ''The Scourge of the Little C'' (as ''Tumbling River'') and ''Sunset of Power'', became Hollywood films. Volumes of Grinstead's works were also published in Britain, Sweden and Spain.〔Texas Death Certificate, March 9, 1948〕〔J. E. Grinstead, Author, Editor, Dies Monday. ''Kerrville Mountain Sun'', March 11, 1948, pp. 1,8〕
==Kentucky, Missouri and Indian territory==
J. E. Grinstead was born at Owensboro, Kentucky, the son of William Travis Grinstead (1825–1900) and Elizabeth Miranda Priest (1833–1940).〔〔〔(William Travis Grinstead (1825-1900) - Find a Grave Memorial ) Retrieved February 15, 2014〕 According to his brother, author Hugh Fox Grinstead (1870–1950), as a young man their father had served as a guard under Lt. John James Abert during a U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers survey of the American Southwest, had made nine crossings of the Great Plains as a wagon-master on trips to New Mexico and California, prospected for gold in the Sacramento Valley, trekked on foot from San Juan del Sur to Lake Nicaragua, transported supplies during the Utah War to General Albert S. Johnston's headquarters at Salt Lake City and conveyed the first threshing machine to Fort Bridger, Wyoming Territory.〔Grinstead, Hugh F. ''William Grinstead; Early Pioneer'', from an undated family history transcribed on Ancestry.com〕 By 1860 Grinstead’s parents were married and living on a farm in or near Long Prairie in Mississippi County, Missouri. After the outbreak of the American Civil War Grinstead’s family returned to Owensboro for the duration of the war.〔〔〔1860 U.S. Census - Long Prairie, Missouri, Ancestry.com〕
By 1868 Grinstead’s family had return to Missouri to a farm in Pettis County, not far from where his grandfather, Jesse Grinstead, had farmed since before the 1840s. In 1884 the family left Missouri to settle in Indian Territory near the town of Oakland where William Grinstead would serve as their first postmaster. A few years later, when Grinstead’s family relocated to Whitesboro, Texas, he chose to remain behind. He supported himself by working a variety of odd jobs before finding full-time employment as a printer with The Ardmore Weekly Courier. In 1893 Grinstead founded ''The Oakland ‘Indian Territory’ News'', the town’s first paper. Six years later he moved to Kerrville, Texas in the vain hope that the climate there would help alleviate his wife’s lung ailment.〔(Grinstead, Jesse Edward.Texas State Historical Association ) Retrieved February 19, 2014〕
