Harold S. (Harold Samuel) Crane
1921–1966
A mid-20th-century naturalist whose name survives mainly through a specialized scientific work, he is listed by Project Gutenberg as Harold S. Crane and is best known there as coauthor of Three New Beavers from Utah. The available public record is sparse, which gives his brief bibliography a quietly archival feel.

About the author
Harold S. Crane, identified by Project Gutenberg as Harold Samuel Crane (1921–1966), appears to have been a writer working in natural history rather than a mainstream literary author. Project Gutenberg credits him as coauthor, with Stephen David Durrant, of Three New Beavers from Utah.
Beyond that publication, only limited biographical details were easy to confirm from public records. Genealogy sources associated with the same full name list his lifespan as August 23, 1921, to January 6, 1966, and place his roots in Utah.
Because so little verified information is readily available online, the picture that remains is a modest but distinct one: a researcher-author connected with Utah and remembered chiefly for a scientific contribution that has been preserved in the public domain.
