Born in Lincolnshire, England, he emigrated to the United States as a young man after being ordained as a Methodist minister. He served in parishes in Nevada and Southern California, gradually beginning his journalism and writing career. An editor of two magazines, he also wrote more than 40 books and many articles and pamphlets on California and the American Southwest. George Wharton James was born in Lincolnshire, England. He married and was ordained as a Methodist minister. He and his wife immigrated to the United States in 1881. He served in parishes in Nevada and southern California. However, in 1889 his wife sued for divorce, accusing him of committing numerous acts of adultery. He was tried by the Methodist Church, charged with real estate fraud, using faked credentials, and sexual misconduct. He was defrocked, although he was later reinstated.[2] In addition to writing his own books, James was associate editor of The Craftsman (1904-05), and editor of Out West (1912-14).[3] In the style of the times, he was a popular lecturer in the region. He also lectured at both the Panama-Pacific and Panama-California expositions 1915-16.[1] James had a long-running feud with Charles Fletcher Lummis, a California writer with similar regional interests.[2] Both men also explored the American Southwest, becoming acquainted with Father Anton Docher, a French-born missionary priest who served at Pueblo of Isleta in New Mexico for 34 years. James' books included the well-received The Wonders of the Colorado Desert (1906),[4] Through Ramona's Country (1909), In and Out of the Old Missions of California (1905), and The Lake of the Sky (1915).
