My grandfather wrote the book Hells last outpost revelation of a French penal settlement.A book about devils island published in America by Putnams in 1933.
I think he sailed as a merchant sea men from a young age-said to be from 14 years as suggested by my mother.I have no birth details or if or where he was educated
He was documented as being American and a war correspondent for China and France
He wrote for American newspapers.
He had 2 children with Dorothy nellie Hassal in london England -St Pancras Hospital and he lived in Kensington london.He died in 1957 in battersea london
I would very much like to know where he was born and if there is any family history
