About the author
Born in Rugby, Warwickshire, on November 11, 1850, he was the son of George Granville Bradley, later Dean of Westminster. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge, and went on to build a varied life before becoming known as a writer.
He spent several years farming in Virginia, then returned to England and worked as a colonial agent in Westminster. Those experiences helped shape the books he later wrote, especially his travel and historical works on places in Britain and North America.
Bradley became a prolific author from the 1890s into the 1920s. His books include Wolfe, The Fight with France for North America, Sketches from Old Virginia, and several well-known topographical works such as Highways and Byways in North Wales and Highways and Byways in the Lake District. He died on January 11, 1943.
