William Eveleigh

William Eveleigh, born in 1882, is credited as the author of South-West Africa (1915), a book on what is now Namibia. Library and catalog records consistently identify him as “William Eveleigh, 1882-,” which confirms the birth year but does not clearly establish a fuller public biography.

He appears to have been a travel or historical writer rather than a widely profiled literary figure. In addition to South-West Africa, catalog records also connect his name with The Story of a Century, 1823–1923, suggesting an interest in history, place, and documentary-style writing.

Because reliable biographical sources on him are scarce, many personal details remain unclear. What can be said with confidence is that his work has been preserved by major library projects and remains accessible to modern readers through archival and public-domain collections.
