Farnham Bishop

Farnham Bishop was an American author born in 1886 and died in 1930. Reliable catalog and reference sources identify him as the son of newspaperman Joseph Bucklin Bishop, and surviving bibliographic records show that he wrote both fiction and nonfiction during the 1910s and 1920s.

He is especially associated with adventure stories published in magazines such as Adventure, including work written on his own and collaborations with Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur. He also published nonfiction books including Panama, past and present, Our First War in Mexico, and The Story of the Submarine, which suggests a strong interest in history, travel, and military subjects.

Short modern summaries describe him as both an educator and a writer, and his fiction is still remembered by readers of pulp adventure and historic naval tales. Although he is not a widely documented literary figure today, the surviving record shows a versatile author who wrote with an eye for action, setting, and real-world events.
