About the author
Born in Codys, New Brunswick, in 1872, he studied at King's College in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and was ordained as an Anglican minister in the 1890s. His church work took him from New Brunswick to the Yukon during the Klondike era, experiences that later gave his fiction a strong sense of place and adventure.
Alongside his religious career, he became a remarkably prolific novelist. Reference sources describe him as a Canadian clergyman and novelist who published 25 books, several of them popular bestsellers, helping make him one of New Brunswick's early literary successes.
He died in Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1948. Today he is remembered for combining moral conviction, frontier drama, and accessible storytelling in novels that once reached a very large readership.
