About the author
Born in 1883 and died in 1960, Ethel T. Raymond — also listed as Ethel Theresa Raymond — was a Canadian journalist and historian. Sources available online identify her as living in Hamilton, Ontario, and as a member of the Canadian Women's Press Club.
She is chiefly remembered for Tecumseh: A Chronicle of the Last Great Leader of His People, published in 1915 as part of the Chronicles of Canada series. The book introduced general readers to the life of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh in a short, accessible format.
Reliable biographical information about Raymond is fairly limited, but the surviving record suggests a writer deeply interested in Canadian history and historical research. That makes her work especially appealing to listeners who enjoy overlooked writers and compact, period biographies.
