About the author
A.L.O.C. is the credited author of The Story of a Dark Plot; Or, Tyranny on the Frontier, a book published in 1903 and later preserved by Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.
Beyond that attribution, reliable biographical details are very hard to confirm. Based on the surviving records I found, the author appears to have published under initials rather than a full public name, and I could not verify basic facts such as birthplace, dates, or other works with confidence.
What does come through clearly is the book's purpose: it is tied to the temperance movement and centers on conflict at the Quebec–Vermont border, suggesting an author deeply interested in social reform and moral debate.
