Autorenporträt
Charles William Gordon, CMG, better known by his pen name Ralph Connor, was a Canadian novelist and church leader. Born on September 13, 1860, in Glengarry County, Ontario, Gordon gained recognition for his literary works, particularly under the pseudonym Ralph Connor. He served as a minister, first in the Presbyterian Church and later in the United Church of Canada, where his pastoral duties often influenced his writing. His works primarily focused on themes of faith, morality, and the challenges of frontier life, resonating deeply with readers of his time. Gordon's notable works, including Black Rock, were praised for their portrayal of the human spirit and the strength of community in difficult times. He was a respected figure both within the church and the literary world. Gordon passed away on October 31, 1937, in Winnipeg, Canada, at the age of 77. His legacy endures through his literary contributions, and his son, J. King Gordon, continued to carry on his family's legacy.
