Samuel G. (Samuel Granger) Camp

Born in 1877 and died in 1952, Samuel Granger Camp wrote a number of fishing books that remained associated with him in major library and book records. Reliable catalog sources connect his name with titles including The Fine Art of Fishing, Fishing with Floating Flies, Fishing Kits and Equipment, and The Angler's Handbook.

Camp is remembered less as a literary celebrity than as a knowledgeable guide for anglers. The books attributed to him focus on technique, equipment, and the practical craft of fishing, which suggests a writer interested in helping readers fish better rather than simply entertaining them with stories.

Publicly available source material on his personal life appears limited, so it is safest to remember him primarily through his writing: a mid-century American author whose books helped define a straightforward, useful style of fishing literature.
