John Ehle

John Marsden Ehle, Jr. (born December 13, 1925) is an American writer known best for his fiction set in the Appalachian Mountains of the American South.

Life and career

Ehle was born in Asheville, North Carolina, the oldest of five children of Gladys (née Starnes) and John Marsden Ehle, an insurance company division director. His paternal grandparents immigrated from Germany and England, respectively.

Ehle enlisted in the United States Army during World War II, serving as a rifleman. Following his military service, Ehle went on to study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures in 1949 and later a Master of Arts degree in Dramatic Arts (1953). Ehle also served on the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1951 to 1963. During his tenure at UNC-Chapel Hill, Ehle wrote plays for the American Adventure series that played on NBC Radio and began writing his first novel.

Ehle's first novel, Move Over Mountain, was published by Hodder & Stoughton of London in 1957. The following year, Ehle returned with a biography The Survivor: The Story of Eddy Hukov. In 1964, Harper & Row published perhaps his most well-known book, The Land Breakers. The book is a fictional account set in the late 18th century that traces the story of the first white pioneers to settle in the Appalachian wilderness of the mountains of Western North Carolina. The Land Breakers, out of print for several decades, was republished in 2006 by Press 53, a small imprint in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
