"Paul Morphy: His Later Life" by C. A. Buck is a comprehensive biography that delves into the life of Paul Morphy, one of the greatest chess players in history, after his return from Europe in 1859. Published in 1902, the book provides a detailed account of Morphy's later years, which were marked by many disappointments and reverses, ultimately leading to a mild form of mania.

C. A. Buck spent several years gathering information from authentic sources, including Morphy's relatives and friends, and even spent a month in New Orleans verifying facts. The biography not only highlights Morphy's chess achievements but also explores his personality and the challenges he faced in his personal life.
