William Gilmore Simms was een vooraanstaand dichter, romanschrijver en historicus uit het Amerikaanse Zuiden wiens werken aanzienlijke populariteit genoten in de 19e eeuw, waarbij Edgar Allan Poe hem uitriep tot de beste romanschrijver die Amerika tot dan toe had voortgebracht. Hoewel zijn romans sindsdien in ongenade zijn gevallen, erkennen literatuurwetenschappers hem nog steeds als een belangrijke kracht in de Zuidelijke literatuur van voor de burgeroorlog. Hij wordt ook herinnerd vanwege zijn sterke steun aan slavernij.
