Other editions of book Dragon's Blood

Henry Milner Rideout (1877-1927) was a native of Calais, Maine. In 1895 he entered Harvard University and became Editor-in-Chief of The Harvard Monthly. By 1903 The Atlantic Monthly had accepted two of his short stories, giving him hope of earning his living by his pen. He travelled for six months in the Far East. When his final jute-reports were filed, he returned via Europe, and settled down in central California to begin an all-out effort to write novels for a living. Author of sixteen novels, twenty-three short stories and novellas, and a biographical memoir, he also was editor of one college textbook, as well as co-editor of three others. Many of his stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. His early works include: Beached Keels (1906), Admiral's Light (1907), The Siamese Cat (1907), Dragon's Blood (1909), The Twisted Foot (1910), White Tiger (1915) and The Far Cry (1916). His fictional heroes were country people and working men. The heroine of his novel, Barbry (1923), was an indentured servant girl. His last published work was an adventure story, Lola the Bear (1928), set in the Maine woods.
