Reid returned to England in 1849, and embarked upon a successful career as a writer of adventure novels and books for boys He was a close friend of Poe (though their writings were miles apart), played a gallant role in the Mexican War, worked as a journalist and wrote most of his first novel while in the United States. He was an influence on the young mind of Teddy Roosevelt, as Roosevelt reveals in his Autobiography; while Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in his 1890s essay Juvenilia that when young he always kept Mr. Ballantyne or Captain Mayne Reid at my elbow; Robert Louis Stevenson praised Reid in the Vailima Letters, and J. Frank Dobie has said he, dared convey real information in his romances.
