About the author
Captain Alan Douglas was a prolific author of boys' adventure fiction, especially stories centered on scouting, camping, and life outdoors. His books include Pathfinder; or, The Missing Tenderfoot, Afloat; or, Adventures on Watery Trails, Storm-Bound; or, A Vacation Among the Snow Drifts, and Camp Fires of the Wolf Patrol.
The surviving online record points most clearly to his work rather than to his personal life. Library catalogs and Project Gutenberg show a long list of novels published under the name "Captain Alan Douglas," often aimed at young readers who enjoyed teamwork, woodcraft, travel, and rugged tests of character.
Because reliable biographical details about the person behind the name are scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to treat Captain Alan Douglas as an author name associated with a substantial body of early adventure fiction rather than add uncertain personal history.
