After the American Civil War ended, George W. Peck (1840–1916) became a newspaper publisher. His weekly newspaper, "Peck’s Sun, " contained Peck’s humorous writings, including his famous semi-autobiographical “Peck’s Bad Boy” stories. Peck died in 1916 at age 75, but his writing continued to win fans for years. The "Peck’s Bad Boy" stories became the basis for several films and a short-lived television show.
