About the author

SB

Samuel Barton

1839–1895

A little-known American writer and broker, he is remembered for a single vivid 1888 novel that imagines war with Britain and the capture of Canada. His work sits at the early edge of future-war and speculative fiction, mixing political anger with sensational adventure.
