Lewis Hough

Lewis Hough was a 19th-century English writer who is also described in reference sources as a military man. Victorian literary indexes identify him as born in 1829 and dying in 1909, and note that he was educated at Eton and Cambridge.

He contributed fiction to periodicals including Chambers's Journal and Once a Week, and he also published longer works of his own. Among the titles linked with him are William Bathurst, Dr. Jolliffe's Boys, and For Fortune and Glory, books that suggest his interest in adventure fiction and stories for boys.

Available reference entries also connect him with service in the 3rd Middlesex Militia and later the Royal Fusiliers, which helps explain the military flavor of some of his writing. While detailed personal information is limited in the sources found, the broad outline is clear: he was a Victorian author whose fiction drew on the values, settings, and energy of his era.
