T. Morris (Thomas Morris) Longstreth

Born in Philadelphia on February 17, 1886, Thomas Morris Longstreth was a Quaker writer educated at Westtown School and Haverford College, where he graduated in 1908. Sources connected with Haverford describe him as a member of the class of 1908, and later accounts say he first hoped for a career in music before turning to teaching and then full-time writing.

Longstreth became a prolific freelance author, remembered especially for travel and regional books such as The Adirondacks, The Catskills, The Laurentians, and The Lake Superior Country. Library and books-page records also show the breadth of his output: alongside travel writing, he published weather books, mysteries, juvenile fiction, and historical adventure, including the later time-slip novel Time Flight.

He died on December 21, 1975, in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. A suitable verified portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
