Stephen Crane was an American novelist, best known for his 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage. Famed for his (in the age) innovative style, Crane was known for his use of irony, vivid detail, and to write honestly about his emotions. He covered the explosion of the USS Maine in Cuba, and it was there, it is believed, the symptoms of pulmonary consumption, or tuberculosis, appeared. Sickly as a child, he was never at the peak of health, and false-diagnoses of malaria and yellow-fever eventually drove him to seek help in Saranac Lake, from Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau. While Crane was not a long-term patient, he was a patient of Trudeau's. In a letter to Crane's lover, Cora Taylor, Trudeau wrote "I have only examined him once." Although Crane's condition was not deemed to be serious, he would later die of tuberculosis in a sanatorium in the Black Forest.
