About the author
Peter B. Kyne (1880–1957) was a prolific American writer, whose literary career unfolded in the early 20th century, with works ranging from short stories to novels. Born in San Francisco, California, Kyne found ample material in the robust world of the West Coast and the high seas, where he often set his narratives. His storytelling was characterized by a blend of wit, humor, and humanism, which endeared his work to readers and contemporaries alike. Kyne's military service during the Spanish-American War and World War I provided authentic material that enriched his fiction with patriotic themes and adventure, a style that became distinctly associated with him. Among his numerous publications, 'Cappy Ricks; Or, the Subjugation of Matt Peasley' stands notable. First published in 1916, this novel intertwines business acumen with seafaring adventure. The work is emblematic of Kyne's talent for creating vivid characters, notably the eponymous Cappy Ricks—a shrewd and endearing business magnate, whose dealings and challenges offer not only entertainment but also insights into human nature and leadership. This book cemented Kyne's reputation and showcased his knack for balancing storytelling with the exploration of ethical dilemmas and personal growth. Kyne remains a figure of interest among scholars of early American popular literature, which is recognized for its role in shaping the cultural narratives of its time.
