Elmer Russell Gregor

Born in New York City on December 23, 1878, Elmer Russell Gregor was an American author remembered for adventure fiction and stories connected with the outdoors. Reference sources available online describe him as a contributor of old-time Indian stories to juvenile publications, along with articles and fiction for outdoor magazines.

Gregor wrote a number of frontier and wilderness tales, including White Otter, Running Fox, The War Trail, Three Sioux Scouts, and Camping on Western Trails. His work often centered on scouting, survival, and travel through forests and mountains, which helped give his stories an energetic, lived-in feel.

He died on April 4, 1954. Although he is not widely known today, his books have remained accessible through public-domain and library projects, where readers can still discover his mix of historical adventure and outdoor storytelling.
