Washington Irving (1783–1859) was an American author, short story writer, essayist, poet, travel book writer, biographer, and columnist.

Other books written by Irving are Bracebridge Hall, Chronicles of the Conquest of Granada, A Tour of the Prairies, and The Life of George Washington, a five-volume title.
