Samuel Rutherford Crockett (1860–1914)

Crockett, Samuel Rutherford. A Scottish novelist; born in Little Duchrae, Galloway. He was a tutor and university pupil-teacher at an early age; but a volume of verse, ‘Dulce Cor,’ and ‘The Stickit Minister,’ a volume of prose stories, showed literature to be his vocation.’ The Raiders’; ‘Mad Sir Ughtred of the Hills’; ‘The Lilac Sun-Bonnet’; ‘The Men of the Moss Hags’; ‘Sweetheart Travelers’; ‘Cleg Kelly, Arab of the City’; ‘The Grey Man of Auchendrayne’; ‘An Adventurer in Spain’; and ‘Red Cap Tales,’ are among his books.
