Angelo Hall

Born in 1868 and died in 1922, Angelo Hall was an American writer remembered in library and reference records as a Unitarian minister and as the biographer of Angeline Stickney Hall, his mother. He was the son of the astronomer Asaph Hall, and family references note that he also taught mathematics at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Hall wrote across several genres rather than staying in one lane. His known books include An Astronomer's Wife, a biography of his mother; the historical novel Forty-one Thieves: A Tale of California; the poetry collection Songs of Love and War; and the religious work Facts about the Bible.

What makes him interesting is that mix of family history, fiction, verse, and religious thought. Even in brief bibliographic traces, he comes across as a writer with wide interests and a life shaped by both scholarship and faith.
