About the author
Champion Ingraham Hitchcock was an American author born in 1868 and died in 1927. The main work consistently linked to him in public-domain and bookseller records is The Dead Men’s Song: Being the Story of a Poem and a Reminiscent Sketch of its Author Young Ewing Allison, published in the early 1900s.
That book is less a conventional novel than a literary tribute. It reflects an interest in poetry, memory, and the people behind well-loved writing, which gives Hitchcock a place among authors who helped preserve literary culture as well as create it.
Reliable biographical detail about his wider life appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so this portrait stays close to what is clearly documented: a writer remembered chiefly for one notable book and for his role in keeping another author’s work and reputation alive.
