James A. (James Andrew) Braden

Born in Greensburg, Ohio, on July 10, 1872, James A. Braden wrote popular fiction for younger readers, especially western and adventure stories. Sources consistently describe him as an American author of westerns and children’s books, and his work was published in the early decades of the 20th century.

His known books include Far Past the Frontier, Connecticut Boys in the Western Reserve, The Cabin in the Clearing, The Trail of the Seneca, and several entries in the Auto Boys series. These titles suggest the kind of storytelling he was known for: energetic plots, outdoor settings, and young protagonists facing risk, mystery, and travel.

A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the pages I could confirm, so no profile image is included here. He died in 1955.
