History of Ancient Rome, 1967
Richard Erdoes was born July 7, 1912, in Vienna, Austria. He studied
art in Vienna, Berlin, and Paris. While working as a free-lance illustrator, he
came to America as a refugee fleeing from the Nazis. In New York he met his
future wife, Jean Sternbergh. She was an art director at Time, Inc., and she
had contacted him to illustrate a book for her. For thirty years he made his
living as a magazine illustrator and photographer. He had many travel
assignments that took him and his family to the American West. In 1970 he
accidentally got into serious writing when a writer with whom he was on
assignment became ill, and he had to write the story for him. He found writing
so rewarding that it became his focus. His books have been translated and
published in eight foreign countries.
