About the author
Harry Hibschman was an American author born in 1879 and deceased in 1947. Surviving catalog and library records connect him with a small but varied body of nonfiction writing rather than a single famous title.
His known books include How the United States Government Works (1929), a short civics guide; Everyman's Legal Manual (1938), a practical legal reference for general readers; and The Shetek Pioneers and the Indians (1901), a historical work about the Lake Shetek settlement in Minnesota. Taken together, these books suggest a writer interested in making public affairs, law, and history accessible to everyday people.
Little biographical detail seems to be readily confirmed from reliable public sources beyond his dates and publications. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the pages reviewed, so a profile image is not included here.
