(? -? ) Canadian author of a Future War tale, The Story of '92: A Grandfather's Tale, Told in 1932 (1889), in which an attempted Invasion of Canada by the United States ends in the former's favour (which is to say Canada survives). The tone of the tale – the first fictional account of an American invasion of Canada – is surprisingly jingoistic. [JC]
