About the author
Published as R. A. St. George, Raymond Alexander St. George was born in 1894 and is remembered through a small body of practical writing on insect damage to wood. Records linked to his publications identify him as the author of government bulletins on problems such as attacks on green lumber, log cabins, rustic work, and unseasoned wood.
His work sits in the world of applied entomology: not just naming insects, but helping people prevent costly damage in everyday settings. The titles associated with him focus on straightforward protection methods, especially in the eastern and southern United States, suggesting a career concerned with useful field guidance rather than academic showmanship.
Reliable biographical details beyond his birth year are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is best to remember him through the work itself: concise, practical publications aimed at helping readers understand and prevent insect injury to wood.
