Elliott Crayton McCants (1865-1953), a native of Ninety-Six, South Carolina and a graduate of the Citadel, was a school teacher in various places before settling in Anderson, S.C., where he served as superintendent of schools. This was his second book, following the novel, "In the Red Hills" (1904). He later wrote the "History, Stories and Legends of South Carolina" (1927) and several other novels. Turnbull V, p. 44.
