Percy Bolingbroke St. John. 1821-1889. (1819 is birth date according to Allibone.) Percy was a son of James Augustus St. John, and a brother of Bayle and Horace. His earliest work seems to have been “Young Naturalists Book of Birds” in 1844. After “The Trapper’s Bride” came out in 1845 he was reviewed in Hood’s Magazine and Comic Miscellany. This was edited by Thomas Hood, author of “Song Of A Shirt,” his son and namesake would become editor of Fun. Hood was dead by the time Percy began writing tales for the magazine in 1846. His first works for Hood’s were short stories, “Caleb Von Dustenberg,” “The Inheritance,” “The Two Travellers” and “The Usurer.” Then he began a short western serial, “White Cloud,” taking place amongst the Seminoles in Florida.

Spoiler:

No work ever was published which has proved so delightful as »Robinson Crusoe.« Naturally enough, there have been many imitations of so pleasing a production, such as the »Swiss Family Robinson,« the »Robinson Chretien,« and others. We make no apology for having conceived and carried out another version, which, though owing its idea to the works above-mentioned, is original in its scene and most of its events. The phenomena of the north have been fully and correctly described on the very best and latest authority. The places described are those visited by Parry and Franklin.
