Ward Moore

Ward Moore

Ward Moore (b. August 10 1903, Madison, New Jersey - d. January 28 1978) was the working name of American author Joseph Ward Moore. 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" (1942). His most famous work is the alternate history novel "Bring the Jubilee" (1953). This novel, narrated by 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; "Greener Than You Think", a novel about unstoppable Bermuda Grass; "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 Daughter" (1954) which are postapocalyptic tales with parallels to the Bible. The film "Panic in Year Zero!" (1962) was (without giving credit) based on "Lot" and "Lot's Daughter".
