About the author
Keith Clark was an American writer and educator, born on June 4, 1879, in St. Peter, Minnesota. Reference records identify him as a writer and teacher, and also note his association with the Institute of Politics at Williamstown.
His most clearly documented book is The Spell of Scotland, published by The Page Company in 1916 and again in a 1921 Library of Congress edition. The book is a travel work on Scotland, blending description, history, and a sense of place in a way that would have appealed to readers looking for both information and atmosphere.
Some authority records list his death in 1951 and give Northfield as his place of death. Beyond those core details, biographical information appears limited in the readily available sources, so his published work remains the best window into his life and interests.
