RAMSEY, Milton Worth

RAMSEY, Milton Worth
(?1848-1906)
   US writer who - although he self-published his sf novels - was of some interest. In Six Thousand Years Hence (1891) a visiting planet drags the protagonist's city into space, where he and his colleagues are able to view several other civilizations, including a complex advanced culture within the Sun, and return centuries hence to a tamed high-tech Earth, where they die older than Methuselah. The Austral Globe (1892) andTwo Billions of Miles, or The Story of a Trip Through the Solar System (1900) are similar in viewpoint but less engaging.
