Autorenporträt
Ralph Henry Barbour was an American author best known for writing sports fiction targeted at young male readers. Born on November 13, 1870, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he was the son of George W. Barbour and Frances A. Barbour. He developed a strong interest in storytelling early on and later became particularly known for capturing the ideals of youth, teamwork, and sportsmanship in his writing. Much of his work centered on school and college life, especially through stories that revolved around athletics such as football, baseball, and track. In addition to his solo efforts, Barbour collaborated with L. H. Bickford under the pseudonym Richard Stillman Powell, producing works that included light romantic adventures like Phyllis in Bohemia. While he focused largely on sports fiction, he also ventured into writing lighthearted romances and general adventure stories. His style often celebrated the virtues of character, friendship, and perseverance, traits that resonated deeply with his young audience. Barbour's writing left a lasting impression on early 20th-century juvenile literature. He passed away on February 19, 1944, at the age of 73, leaving behind a body of work that continued to influence the genre of youth-oriented sports fiction.
