Hartshorne, Henry
Entry updated 17 March 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1823-1897) US physician and author whose sf novella 1931: A Glance at the Twentieth Century (1881 chap) describes the Near Future in generally Utopian terms; America has solved its racial problems (see Race in SF), and solved other problems as well, including Pollution, through the application of high Technology. Perhaps unseriously, it is suggested that after a possible Invasion of Canada, its population has welcomed incorporation into the great republic (see Imperialism). [JC]
