Francis Andrew March

Born in 1863, he was the son of noted scholar Francis A. March and built a career of his own as a writer, teacher, and compiler. Records from library and book catalogs link him to a wide range of works, especially on history and the English language.

He is most closely associated with History of the World War, a large, widely circulated account of World War I published soon after the conflict. He also worked on handbooks and reference books aimed at everyday readers and students, reflecting a clear, practical approach to learning.

March died in 1928. Though he is less widely known today than some literary figures of his era, his books capture a moment when historians and educators were trying to explain a rapidly changing world to a broad audience.
