Allen was born near Lexington, Kentucky and his formative years were spent there in the eras that impress upon his work- Ante-bellum, American Civil War, and Reconstruction. He graduated from Transylvania University in 1872, delivering the Salutatorian address in Latin. Allen sought to accurately transcribe the accents of the characters.
