by A. C. (Albert Christopher) Addison
About the author
Born in Northallerton, Yorkshire, on April 22, 1862, Albert Christopher Addison wrote under the name A. C. Addison. Available reference sources describe him as an English writer, and some also note his work in journalism. He was the son of Daniel Addison, who founded the Tamworth Herald in 1868.
Addison is chiefly associated with popular historical books written for general readers rather than academic specialists. Among the titles linked to him are The Story of the Birkenhead, A Deathless Story of the Birkenhead and Its Heroes (with W. H. Matthews), The Romantic Story of the Mayflower Pilgrims, and Its Place in the Life of To-Day, and The Romantic Story of the Puritan Fathers and Their Founding of New Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His books show a clear interest in heroic episodes, migration, and the early English roots of American history.
He died on May 24, 1935. Reliable pages found for this overview give a basic outline of his life and bibliography, but I could not confirm a suitable portrait from those sources, so no profile image is included here.
