Winthrop Neilson

Winthrop and Frances Neilson were both born in Philadelphia, where they went to school, met and were married. Since then they had lived in New York City, and had a house on Long Island where they went for country quiet and fishing. By 1958, between them, the Neilsons had thirteen books published - one of them, "Edge of Greatness", being a novel on 'one day in the life of Benjamin Franklin'. There titles include:

  • Bruce Benson, Son of Fame
  • What's News--Dow Jones: Story of the Wall Street Journal
  • Letter to Philemon; a novel of a man's search for faith
  • Seven Women: Great Painters
  • The Story of Theodore Roosevelt
  • The United Nations: The World's Last Chance for Peace
  • Bruce Benson on Trials of Thunder
  • Dusty for Speed!
  • The woman who loved Paul: A novel
  • The ring & the river
  • That Lydian Woman
  • Verdict for the doctor: The case of Benjamin Rush
  • Mary Called Magdelene

Winthrop Neilson was also an accomplished painter (oil, water color and more: http://www.rogallery.com/Neilson/Neilson_hm.htm). He started painting in his twenties while biking through Southern France with a paint box on his back. While visiting Rome he came up with his linear style. He lived in Buck Hill Falls, PA and for fifteen years at the National Arts Club in New York City. Additional information can be found on the Winthrop & Frances Neilson Fan Page in Facebook.
