Andrew Haggard

Born on February 7, 1854, Andrew Charles Parker Haggard was educated at Westminster School and later served in the King's Own Scottish Borderers. Records also place him with the Egyptian Army in the 1880s, giving him a career that stretched well beyond the study and into active military service.

He is remembered as both a novelist and a writer of historical biography. Victorian bibliographic records link him to fiction such as Leslie's Fate, Tempest-Torn, Hannibal's Daughter, and Love Rules the Camp, while library and archive records also show his interest in French and European subjects in books including The Real Louis the Fifteenth, Madame de Staël, and Victor Hugo: His Work and Love.

Haggard was part of the same family as the novelist H. Rider Haggard, but his own work followed a distinct path, blending storytelling with a strong interest in history and character. He died on May 13, 1923.
