Hugh Wynne was a popular American novel by Silas Weir Mitchell, who was also a medical doctor, published in 1897. The story is recounted in autobiographical form from the perspective of an American patriot during the American Revolution who has a strict father. He eventually serves under General George Washington and has various adventures as well as a love interest playing out during the Revolutionary War era.[1] The Bookman reported it to be the secondmost-bestselling book in America for 1898.

Much of the book takes place in Philadelphia.[2] The Bookman gave the book high praise.[2]

The book was first serialized in The Century from November 1896 through October 1897.[3][4]

The full title of the book is Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker, Sometime Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on the Staff of His Excellency General Washington.

Richard J. Beamish used the novel as the basis for his libretto to Camille Zeckwer's cantata La Mischianza.[5]
