About the author
Little biographical information about this author was easy to confirm from reliable online sources. What can be verified is that George Pugh is credited, alongside Jennie Pugh, as the author of At the Back of the World: Wanderings over Many Lands and Seas, originally published in 1913 and later released by Project Gutenberg.
The book is presented as a memoir of maritime travel and adventure, following experiences at sea, encounters with different places and cultures, and the personal growth that comes with long voyages. The surviving record available online points more clearly to the work itself than to details of Pugh’s life, so it is safest to remember him through the spirited travel writing he left behind.
