*WILLIAMS, BEN AMES.* Born in Macon, Miss., March 7, 1889. Brought up in
Jackson, Ohio. Educated at West Newton, Mass., and Cardiff, Wales.
Graduated from Dartmouth College, 1910. Newspaper man in Jackson, Ohio,
Oklahoma City, and Boston until 1916, now devotes himself entirely to
fiction. “I married a Wellesley girl, who insists that she and our two
boys are properly my chief interest. Fiction writing comes next; and
after that tennis, golf, fishing, swimming, gunning, and the general run
of outdoor stuff, with chess for rainy-day wear. My first published
story—my eighty-fourth in the order of writing—was ‘The Wings of Lias,’
Smith’s Magazine, July, 1915. Like a good many others, I owe a debt to
Robert H. Davis of Munsey’s for the encouragement that kept me going.”
Lives in Newton Centre, Mass.
