Ward Moore

Ward Moore (August 10, 1903 - 1978) was the working name of Canadian-born, American author Joseph Ward Moore.

Moore began publishing with the novel Breathe the Air Again in 1942. His most famous work is the alternate history novel Bring the Jubilee (1953). This novel, narrated by time traveler Hodge Backmaker, tells of a world in which the South won the American Civil War, leaving the North in ruins. Moore only published two other novels during his lifetime, including Joyleg, co-written with Avram Davidson.

Moore is also known for the two short stories (since collected) "Lot" (1953) and "Lot's Daughters" (1954) which are postapocalyptic tales with parallels to the Bible.
