George Harrison De La Vergne

George Harrison De La Vergne (1868–1957) was an American author whose published work spans several very different subjects. He wrote Hawaiian Sketches in 1898, contributed to Six Prize Hawaiian Stories of the Kilohana Art League, and was also the author of At the Foot of the Rockies, showing an interest in regional life and travel as well as fiction.

He also had a legal background. A Cornell law thesis titled Irrigation Laws of the West, dated 1894, is attributed to him, which suggests that before or alongside his literary work he was engaged with practical Western legal issues. Later, he published The Wilderness: A Battle Picture in 1921, turning his attention to the Civil War and historical narrative.

Although detailed biographical information is hard to confirm from readily available sources, the record of his books shows a writer who ranged widely in subject and setting. That variety gives his work a distinctive appeal: it feels shaped by someone interested not just in storytelling, but in landscapes, law, history, and the changing American experience.
