About the author

Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable sources available during this search. What is clear is that Frank Baird is credited as the author of Roger Davis, Loyalist, a historical novel that has been preserved and republished through Project Gutenberg and other public-domain editions.

The book was originally published by The Musson Book Company and includes illustrations by C. W. Jefferys. Set during the American Revolution, it centers on Loyalist experience rather than the more familiar Patriot viewpoint, which gives the novel a distinctive angle and a strong interest in questions of allegiance, identity, and survival.

Because dependable personal details about Baird were not readily available, it is safest to remember the author mainly through this surviving work rather than through a well-documented life story.
