Autorenporträt

Holman Francis Day, an American author, was born in Vassalboro, Maine. The Holman Day House, his residence in Auburn, Maine, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Rider of the King Log, based on his book, was filmed in 1921. Along Came Ruth, based on his play, was filmed in 1924. Day married Helen Gerald, the only daughter of Amos F. Gerald, a railroad engineer, and Caroline W. Rowell. She died in 1902 at the age of 32 and was buried at Maplewood Cemetery in her father's birthplace of Fairfield, Maine; Day, on the other hand, was buried in Nichols Cemetery in his hometown of Vassalboro, Maine, after dying in 1935. He graduated from Colby College (class of 1887) and worked as the Union Publishing Company's managing editor in Bangor, Maine, from 1889 to 1890. He was also the editor and owner of the Dexter Gazette in Maine, a special writer for the Journal in Lewiston, a Boston Herald representative, and the managing editor of the Lewiston Daily Sun. From 1901 until 1904, he served as the military secretary to Maine Governor John F Hill. He moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, in the 1920s.
