Born in 1874 and died in 1952, Robert Lee Berry wrote under the name R. L. Berry. Catalog records and memorial listings identify him as an American author whose life spanned from July 12, 1874, to July 19, 1952.
Berry is best known for religious books including Adventures in the Land of Canaan, Steps Heavenward, The Soul-Winner's Guide, and Around Old Bethany. His writing centers on Christian experience and spiritual growth, and some later editions describe Around Old Bethany as a story connected with the Church of God tradition.
Much of his work has remained accessible through library catalogs, archives, and Project Gutenberg, which suggests a lasting niche readership among readers of older devotional and faith-based literature. I couldn't confirm many personal biographical details beyond his dates and bibliography from the sources I found, so this overview stays focused on the parts of his life and work that are clearly documented.
