About the author
Born in Northallerton, Yorkshire, on April 22, 1862, Albert Christopher Addison was an English writer and journalist. Contemporary reference pages identify him as the son of Daniel Addison, founder of the Tamworth Herald, and describe him as a newspaper reporter as well as an author.
Addison is remembered mainly for popular history and narrative nonfiction. Catalog and public-domain listings connect him with works such as The Romantic Story of the Mayflower Pilgrims, and Its Place in the Life of To-day and other books that retell major episodes from British and Atlantic history in an accessible, story-driven way.
He died on May 24, 1935. A surviving portrait could not be confirmed from the sources checked, so no profile image is included here.
