During the decade of 1900 to 1909 the following books were the Number 1 Bestsellers in the United States. I’ve listed them by the year that they reached that status along with the author.
- To Have And To Hold by Mary Johnston in 1900
- The Crises by Winston Churchill (American Author) in 1901
- The Virginian by Owen Wister in 1902
- Lady Rose’s Daughter by Mary Augusta Ward in 1903
- The Crossing by Winston Churchill (American author) in 1904
- The Marriage of William Ashe by Mary Augusta Ward in 1905
- Coniston by Winston Churchill -American Novelist in 1906
- The Lady of the Decoration by Frances Little in 1907
- Mr. Crewe’s Career by Winston Churchill (American novelist) in 1908
- The Inner Shrine by Basil King in 1909
It is interesting to see that Winston Churchill, the American novelist and not the English statesman, had 4 No. 1 Bestsellers in this 10 year span.
In future posts, I’ll see if I can review any of these books written 100 years ago.
