Erskine Preston Caldwell (December 17, 1903 – April 11, 1987) was an American novelist and short story writer.[7][8] His writings about poverty, racism and social problems in his native Southern United States, in novels such as Tobacco Road (1932) and God's Little Acre (1933) won him critical acclaim.
With cumulative sales of 10 million[9] and 14 million copies,[10] respectively, Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre rank as two of the best-selling American novels, all-time, with the former being adapted into a 1933 play that set a Broadway record for consecutive performances, since surpassed.
