释义
Connor, Ralph
Canadian minister
pseudonym of Charles William Gordon
born Sept. 13, 1860, Indian Lands, Glengarry county, Ont., Can.
died Oct. 31, 1937, Winnipeg, Man.
Canadian Presbyterian minister and writer of numerous popular novels that combine religious messages, wholesome sentiment, and adventure.
Ordained in 1890, Gordon became a missionary to mining and lumber camps in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and from this experience and memories of his Glengarry childhood derived the major background for his fiction. His first books, the missionary adventure tales Black Rock (1898) and its sequel, The Sky Pilot (1899), met with phenomenal success. His highest literary achievements are considered to be the books dealing with the pioneer traditions of his Ontario boyhood: The Man from Glengarry (1901) and Glengarry School Days (1902).
