Stanley C. (Stanley Currie) Johnson

Stanley Currie Johnson was born in 1878 and wrote on an unusually wide range of subjects. Surviving catalog records link his name to books on emigration history, stamp collecting, medals, military curios, flags, gardening, and writing for publication, suggesting a versatile nonfiction career aimed at general readers.

Among his better-known works are A History of Emigration from the United Kingdom to North America, 1763–1912, The Stamp Collector, Peeps at Postage Stamps, Chats on Military Curios, The Medal Collector, and Grow Your Own Vegetables. Some editions and title pages describe him with academic and professional credentials, and his books often combine practical detail with an accessible, enthusiastic tone.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, his bibliography shows a writer drawn to subjects that reward close observation and patient study. That mix of scholarship and plainspoken explanation helps explain why his work still turns up in library catalogs, reprints, and public-domain collections.
