Charles Allen McConnell

Charles Allen McConnell (1860–1955) was an American writer closely connected with the early Church of the Nazarene. Library of Congress records identify him as the author of Caleb of the Hill Country (1914), and other surviving editions show that he continued publishing for decades, including Daughter of the Hill Country in 1949.

His books suggest a writer drawn to frontier settings, young readers, and religious teaching. Titles such as The Lost Frontier, Boys of the Old Sea Bed, and The Book's Own Story point to a body of work that mixed adventure, regional life, and Bible storytelling in a plain, accessible style.

Although detailed biographical information is hard to confirm from readily available sources, the record that survives shows a prolific author whose work circulated widely in Nazarene and religious publishing circles well into the twentieth century.
