Amidst his entrepreneurial pursuits, Galt found his true passion in literature. His narrative style is characterized by sharp wit and a penchant for satirical portrayal of the societal mores of his time. His vivid storytelling is exemplified in his biography 'The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West, Esq.'
