His family had been in New York City for quite some time--his ancestor, Adm. Kornelis Evertson of the Dutch Navy, had led the expedition that captured New York from the British in 1673.
Saltus got his schooling in New York City and attended Yale University in 1876, but left after a year. He spent several years traveling around Europe. He returned to the US and attended Columbia University, where he obtained a law degree (although he never practiced law). His first published work was a biography of 'Honore de Balzac', "Balzac", in 1884. "The Philosophy of Disenchatment", which came out the next year, was an account of philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and his school.
His first novel was "Mr. Incoul's Misadventure" in 1887, and was well received. He turned out several more works over the next few years, both fiction and non-fiction (his 1893 book "Imperial Purple", a study of Roman emperors, was a favorite of US President 'Warren G. Harding'). He is also thought to have written several "potboilers" under other names, including such works as "The Lovers of the World" and "The Great Battles of All Nations".

- Between 1926 and 1947, Harry A. Bailey's plumpness earned this fine character actor dozens of bit parts as the fat man in office. Often a politician - most often a senator (it looks as though they ate too much at the time!) he was also regularly seen in court trial scenes (whether as a lawyer, a court clerk or a juror). He also embodied with ease your good-humored bald-headed neighbor or the the conductor of the train you travel in. Incidentally, Harry Bailey appeared in three masterpieces, Frank Capra's 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' (as a... senator it goes without saying!) and Orson Welles's 'Citizen Kane' and 'The Magnificent Ambersons'. But look closely if you do not mean to miss him!
