About the author

Augustus Warner Williams (1844–1920) was an American author usually identified in print as Rev. A. W. Williams. The clearest confirmed facts available here are his birth and death years and his authorship of works published around the turn of the 20th century.

His best-documented books include Bleeding Armenia: Its History and Horrors Under the Curse of Islam, published in 1897 and credited to A. W. Williams with M. Smbat Gabrielean, and Life and Work of Dwight L. Moody, published in 1900. Those titles suggest the range of his writing: part religious biography, part historical and advocacy writing, aimed at a general readership.

Reliable biographical detail beyond that is hard to confirm from the sources found in this search, so it is safest to remember him as a Protestant minister and popular religious writer whose books tried to inform readers while stirring sympathy, concern, and faith.
