About the author
B. A. Hathaway was the pen name of Benjamin Adams Hathaway (1852–1929), an American author whose name appears in library and public-domain records for fiction published from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. Reliable catalog sources consistently identify him in that fuller form and date range, which helps distinguish him from other writers with similar names.
His surviving bibliography suggests a working writer comfortable with the fast-moving print culture of his time: fiction written for general readers, including adventure-oriented and juvenile titles, circulated widely enough to be preserved by major digital libraries. While detailed biographical information appears to be scarce online, the record of his publications points to a steady literary career rather than a single famous book.
Because so little personal material is easy to confirm from accessible sources, the clearest picture of Hathaway comes through his books themselves: practical, readable, and very much part of the energetic publishing world of turn-of-the-century America.
