Burtis McGie Little

Published in 1915, Francisco the Filipino is the work most clearly connected with Burtis McGie Little. Library and catalog records identify him as the book's author and give his birth year as 1884.

The book was written for young readers and focuses on Filipino life and customs, which suggests he was writing in an educational, introductory style rather than as a novelist with a large body of widely documented work. Reliable public information about his broader career appears to be quite limited.

Available records also connect him with Lexington, Missouri, and indicate that he lived from 1884 to 1950. Because detailed biographical sources are scarce, much of his life remains only lightly documented in commonly available references today.
