Epes Sargent (September 27, 1813- December 30, 1880) was an American editor, poet and playwright. By 1831 he was working as an editor for the Boston Daily Advertiser. He then went to work editing the Boston Daily Atlas where he also served as its Washington D. C. correspondent. While reporting political affairs he became friends with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. During this time he also collaborated with Samuel Griswold Goodrich, writing the Peter Parley books, which embellished the biographies of our founding fathers with fancy and legend . Sargent’s first play, The Bride of Genoa, premiered at Boston’s Tremont Theatre on February 13, 1837, with a lead role written for American actress Josephine Clifton.
