About the author
Born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on January 24, 1875, Edward Herbert Cameron became known as an educator and author whose work centered on teaching and psychology. Records for his books and library catalogs link him especially with Psychology and the School (1921), a work aimed at connecting psychological ideas with the needs of teachers and students.
Cameron also wrote Of Yankee Granite: An Account of the Building of the Bunker Hill Monument, showing an interest beyond education in historical narrative and American civic memory. Taken together, the surviving bibliographic record suggests a writer who moved comfortably between instructional writing and accessible history.
He died on December 20, 1938. A reliable portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
