Harold Bell Wright
Harold Bell Wright was an American best-selling author, pastor and writer of magazine articles born on May 4, 1872 in Rome, Oneida County, New York, United States. His childhood was spent travelling throughout America sinking deeper and deeper, as the years passed, into the slough of wretched poverty
. His father was an alcoholic who couldn’t hold down a job, and who dragged the family down into a state of despair. His mother, on the other hand, was determined to educate her children, and spent hours reading stories such as Pilgrims Progress and Hiawatha to them. Wright was deeply moved by these stories and they had a profound impact on his later life.
After his mother died, when Wright was aged eleven, his father abandoned the children and Wright spent the next 15 years doing odd jobs as a painter and artist in a number of Midwestern towns. His itinerant existence was a way of life he would return to again in later years. He discovered some stability as a pastor in Pittsburg, Kansas, where he began his lifelong love of writing stories. His first story entitled, That Printer of Udell’s (1902), was written for his congregation, and he read aloud from the book, one chapter per week. His congregation enjoyed the story so much that they encouraged him to publish it as a book. This he did, beginning his career as one of the early twentieth centuries most successful American authors.
In 1907 Wright published his second novel, The Shepherd of the Hills (1907), which was wildly successful, selling over one million copies and firmly establishing Wright as a great writer of American fiction. Although his stories would never find critical acclaim, they were popular among small town America for their entertaining narratives and recognisable characters from Midwestern American life. Shortly after publication of, The Shepherd of the Hills, Wright accepted a pastoral position in Redlands, California, which would be his final position as a pastor. In
