Will E. (William Ernest) Ingersoll

Born in 1879, William Ernest Ingersoll wrote under the name Will E. Ingersoll. He is associated with Manitoba, and surviving book records show a body of fiction published under his pen name, including novels such as Daisy Herself.

His books suggest a writer drawn to character-centered stories rather than grand spectacle. The titles linked to him point to an interest in domestic life, relationships, and the rhythms of small-town and prairie experience.

Although he is not widely remembered today, his work remains traceable through library and bookselling records, and local historical sources connect him to western Canada. He died in 1968, leaving behind a modest but still discoverable literary footprint.
