Earle Ashley Walcott

Born in 1859 and dying in 1931, Earle Ashley Walcott was an American author associated with California. Library and public-domain records consistently identify him as the writer of novels such as Blindfolded and The Apple of Discord.

He is also remembered outside his fiction. Public book and author records describe him as a civic figure in San Francisco, including service connected with civil service work and the Commonwealth Club.

Much of his work now survives through public-domain and library collections, which has helped keep his name alive for modern readers interested in forgotten popular fiction of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
