Nye, Bill

▪ American humorist
pseudonym of  Edgar Wilson Nye  
born Aug. 25, 1850, Shirley, Maine, U.S.
died Feb. 22, 1896, Arden, N.C.
 journalist and one of the major American humorists in the last half of the 19th century.

      In 1852 Nye's family moved to Wisconsin, where he later taught school and read law. Settling in Laramie, Wyo., in 1876, he served as postmaster and justice of the peace and contributed to the Denver Tribune and Cheyenne Sun. His humorous squibs and tales in the Laramie Boomerang, which he helped found in 1881, were widely read and reprinted. Collected, they form the substance of numerous published volumes, from Bill Nye and Boomerang (1881) to Bill Nye's History of the U.S. (1894). Later Nye returned to Wisconsin and for several years wrote for the New York World. In 1886 he lectured with James Whitcomb Riley (Riley, James Whitcomb), the combination of Nye's wit and Riley's sentiment proving extremely popular. Writing in his own person, rather than in the guise of a foolish character, Nye reveals his own kindly but droll nature.
