Biographical history

William S. Martin was the author of three works: The Captain's Story (1868), Our School Days (1869) and The Wild Bells and What They Rang (1871). On the basis of information from the diaries and notebooks, Martin seems to have also been a schoolmaster in the south of England during the middle and late 1860s. By 1886, he emigrated to Toronto and sold insurance.
