William Eveleigh
b. 1882
Best known for writing about southern Africa in the early 20th century, this little-documented author is associated with travel and historical nonfiction rather than novels. The surviving record is slim, but his books point to a strong interest in regional history, geography, and mission work.

South-West Africa

About the author
William Eveleigh, born in 1882, is credited as the author of South-West Africa (1915), a nonfiction work on the region now known as Namibia. Library and ebook records also identify him as the editor of The Story of a Century, 1823-1923, a work connected with Wesleyan Methodist history.
Very little biographical information appears to be readily confirmed from major catalog and public-domain sources. Because of that, it is safest to describe him as an early-20th-century writer and editor whose published work focused on southern Africa and religious or historical subjects, rather than to make stronger claims about his life.
