Oliver Bell Bunce (1828 – 1890) was an American author, playwright, editor, and publisher whose works spanned historical fiction, social commentary, drama, and early utopian literature. Born and raised in New York City, Bunce entered the publishing industry at a young age, eventually becoming a prominent figure in the city's literary scene through his roles as an editor and co-founder of publishing ventures. His career highlighted a blend of romanticized American history, practical etiquette guides, and imaginative narratives, reflecting the cultural interests of 19th-century America. Bunce's most enduring contributions include historical works centered on the American Revolution, such as The Romance of the Revolution (first published in 1852), which compiled personal adventures, heroic exploits, and romantic incidents from the War of Independence.
