About the author
Born in Philadelphia on January 10, 1880, Stephen French Whitman was an American novelist and short-story writer. Princeton’s finding aid for his papers identifies him as a member of the Class of 1901, and records that his collection includes manuscripts, correspondence, and documents related to his publishing career.
His fiction includes titles such as Predestined, Sacrifice, and The Isle of Life. Some of his work crossed into film: Sacrifice was adapted as the 1923 silent drama Drums of Fate, and Whitman is also associated with screen work including The Blonde Saint.
Whitman died in Los Angeles, California, on December 27, 1948. A clear, verifiable portrait image was not available from the sources I could confirm here, so no profile image is included.
