About the author

WD

William Day Simonds

1855–1920

Remembered today mainly for a lively biography of Thomas Starr King, this American writer left behind work that blended religious reflection, public speaking, and a strong interest in history. His surviving books suggest a thoughtful, civic-minded author writing for readers who cared about ideas as much as character.
