Biographie:
American writer Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944) is well recognised for his widely read books from the early 20th century. Wright was born in Rome, New York, on May 4, 1872, and was raised in a creative and devout household. After gaining an interest in ministry while attending Ohio's Hiram College, he went on to study at Boston University Theological School. Wright served as a pastor in a number of places, but he decided to focus on writing because of health problems.

In spite of this, he had a big influence on American literature in the early 20th century....
