Stewart Edward White

Alex Struik

Stewart Edward White (12 March 1873 - September 18, 1946) was an American author. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan he attended Grand Rapids High School, and earned degrees from University of Michigan (B.A., 1895; M.A., 1903). From about 1900 until about 1922, he wrote fiction and non-fiction about adventure and travel, with an emphasis on natural history and outdoor living. White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness. He was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature, yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. In this edition White describes his trip to Africa and adventures on safari in Kenya before the First World War.

Notă biografică

Stewart Edward White was an American author, novelist, and spiritualist who lived from 12 March 1873 until September 18, 1946. He was Gilbert White's brother, a well-known muralist. White, the son of Mary E. (Daniel) and lumberjack Thomas Stewart White, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan after graduating from Grand Rapids High School (B.A., 1895; M.A., 1903). He wrote adventure and travel-related fiction and non-fiction from around 1900 to roughly 1922, with a focus on natural history and outdoor living. Beginning in 1922, he and his wife Elizabeth "Betty" Grant White published a number of publications they claimed to have received through mediumship. Additionally, they wrote about their excursions throughout the state of California. White passed away at the age of 73 in Hillsborough, California. At a period when America was losing its wildness, White's writings were well-liked. He was an astute observer of both natural and human beauty, and he could express them simply. He added witty and entertaining information about cabin-building, paddling, logging, gold-searching, and weapons, as well as fishing and hunting, whether he was writing camping journals or Westerns, based on his own experience.
