William Thomas Wilson

Available catalog records confirm that William Thomas Wilson wrote For the Love of Lady Margaret: A Romance of the Lost Colony, published in 1908. The novel’s title points to an interest in early American history and romance, especially the enduring mystery of the Roanoke colony.

Beyond that book listing, reliable biographical information about the author is hard to pin down. Open Library identifies him as the author of the 1908 novel, but I could not confirm fuller details such as birth and death dates, a broader bibliography, or a verified personal history from the sources I found.

That makes Wilson one of those authors known mainly through the survival of a single book rather than a well-preserved public profile. For listeners who enjoy forgotten historical fiction, that obscurity can be part of the appeal.
