R.M. Ballantyne was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the famous family of printers and publishers who brought the works of Sir Walter Scott to the public. At sixteen he went to Canada to serve with the Hudson's Bay Company, and returned, six years later, to publish his first book, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America. He worked in the family business for some years, but in 1856 to write full-time, and spent his lifetime writing books for boys -- he wrote dozens of books, in fact, in a career that stretched on for decades.
