Bestselling Books from 1910 to 1919

I’ve compiled a list of the Number One bestselling books in the United States during the decade of 1910 to 1919. The book titles and their authors are listed by the year that they achieved the status of being the most popular book of that year.

• The Rosary by Florence L. Barclay (1910)
• The Broad Highway by Jeffrey Farnol (1911)
• The Harvester by Gene Stratton Porter (1912)
• The Inside of the Cup by Winston Churchill (1913)
• The Eyes of the World by Harold Bell Wright (1914)
• The Turmoil by Booth Tarkington (1915)
• Seventeen by Booth Tarkington (1916)
• Mr. Britling Sees It Through by H. G. Wells (1917)
• The U.P. Trail by Zane Grey ( 1918 )
• The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1919)

Only one author, Booth Tarkington, achieved two different number one bestsellers during this decade. Tarkington was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and attended both Purdue and Princeton Universities.

Many of these books can be found in used book stores both on line and in your local area.
