About the author

George Harrison De La Vergne was an American author born in 1868. The works reliably linked to him in library and bookseller records include At the Foot of the Rockies: Stories of Mountain and Plain, or, Boy Life on the Old Ranche and The Wilderness; A Battle Picture, which point to an interest in Western settings and dramatic historical subjects.

The available record for De La Vergne appears to be quite limited, so many personal details about his life are not easy to confirm from standard reference sources. Based on the books that remain in circulation, he seems to have written in an accessible, adventure-friendly style shaped by frontier life, youth, and conflict.

Because biographical information is scarce, his work is the clearest guide to his appeal: energetic storytelling, a strong sense of place, and the kind of old-fashioned narrative momentum that suits readers who enjoy historical and regional fiction from the turn of the 20th century.
