My Favorite Authors... 

• JOHN L. STODDARD
  In 1874, John L. Stoddard started his world travels and began writing "John Stoddard's Lectures". While becoming a world famous lecturer for more than 20 years, his voyages took him to every remote corner of the globe. He was a member of the Author's Club Of London and the Literary Society Of Rome - two of the most prestigious organizations of their time.
• FRANK G. CARPENTER
  Carpenter, Frank George, Litt. D., F.R.G.S. Journalist and author. Born in Mansfield, Ohio, 1855. Graduate Wooster University, 1877. Began newspaper work as legislative correspondent for the "Cleveland Leader" in 1879. In 1881, he undertook a series of travels which embraced a period of nearly 30 years, during which he visited all parts of the world and from which he sent numerous articles to newspapers and magazines.
• HARRY A. FRANCK
  Harry A. Franck, author of "A Vagabond Journey Around the World" and many other famous books of travel, was born in Munger, Bay County, Michigan, in June, 1881. He attended the little country school house, of which period in his life he said he remembered more of the personality of his teachers than of any book knowledge he acquired. This early interest in humans foretold, perhaps, the character of this remarkable man, who took so great an interest in his fellows that he spent most of the adult years of his life vagabonding about in foreign lands as well as in his native country. By the time he died in 1962, Mr. Franck had published almost 30 travel books. He was one of the foremost travel writers of the first half of the twentieth century. His first book, published in 1910, was A Vagabond Joumey Around the World. More books followed; his last published book (Rediscovering South America) came out in 1943.
• GEORGE WALDO BROWNE
  George Waldo Browne, novelist, poet, historian, lecturer, and public speaker, was born in Deerfield, New Hampshire, October 8, 1851. He was the oldest son of John C. and Martha L. Browne, and was raised on a farm near Deerfield, where he received his education in the grammar and high schools. He began to write when he was sixteen, and sold his first story when he was twenty-one. His first long story for Beadle was written in 1877, and for it he received fifty dollars. For a time he taught school in Deerfield, and later was superintendent of schools at that place, but in 1881 he removed to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he purchased Girls and Boys of New Hampshire and published it as a monthly until January 1, 1883, when he bought the American Young Folks, of Topeka, Kansas. He consolidated the two under the latter name and published it as a semimonthly for three years. Being very successful in writing, he disposed of the magazine to the Youth's Companion in 1886, and devoted all of his time to literature. He wrote over 100 serials and books, and more than 1000 short stories and articles, which were published in the Saturday Journal, the Banner Weekly, Golden Days, Argosy, Good News, Golden Hours, Young People, and elsewhere. He also contributed thirteen stories to the Nickel Library. About 1900 he began writing historical and descriptive works, for here lay Mr. Browne's choice. Among the more important are "The Far East and the New America," in six volumes; "The History of Hillsborough, N. H., 1735 to 1921" (1921), "Early Records of Londonderry, Windham and Derry, N. H." in three volumes (1908-14), "Green Mountain Pioneers" (1927), "Indian Nights" (1927), "Japan, the Place and the People" (1904), and "The St. Lawrence River" (1905). He was married to Nellie M. Barber, of Townsend, Massachusetts, January 8, 1891, who, with a daughter and a son, survived him. He died August 13, 1930, at Manchester, New Hampshire.
• HUGO A. BERNATZIK
  The Austrian anthropologist Hugo A. Bernatzik has been renowned for the outstanding photographic documents that illustrated his ethnographic publications. Once taken out of their documentary context they reveal that they are indeed much more: the combination of the artistic approach combined with the sensitivity of the anthropologist enabled Bernatzik to produce photographs of great compository power, motion and emotion that seem almost timeless in their appeal and can truly be counted among the highlights of ethno-photography. Born in Vienna in 1897, Bernatzik abandoned his medical studies to travel, financing his journeys with journalism and by selling his photographs. Over the span of his career he undertook research in and photographed, amongst others, Egypt, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Bali, Southeast Asia and Swedish Lapland. Bernatzik fell ill on his last trip to Morocco and died in Vienna in 1953 from a tropical disease at the age of fifty-six.
