About the author
Born in Mosboro, Ontario, on November 16, 1879, Arthur Barsalou Strickland was a minister and writer whose surviving books place him in the world of Baptist history and religious thought. His best-known work, Roger Williams, Prophet and Pioneer of Soul-Liberty (1919), explores the life of the early advocate of religious freedom.
Records from library and archival sources also connect him with The Great American Revival (1934), another historical study focused on evangelism and revival in the United States. Taken together, his books suggest a writer interested in faith, freedom, and the forces that shaped Protestant life in North America.
Available memorial records indicate that he later died in Los Angeles, California, on October 30, 1952. Reliable biographical detail about his personal life appears limited online, but the works that remain show a serious, historically minded author with a clear interest in religion's role in public life.
