About the author

Joseph Holt Ingraham (January 26, 1809 – December 18, 1860) was an American author.

Ingraham was born in Portland, Maine. He spent several years at sea, then worked as a teacher of languages in Mississippi. In the 1840s he published work in Arthur's Magazine. He became an Episcopal clergyman on March 7, 1852.

In Natchez, Ingraham married Mary Brooks, a cousin of Phillips Brooks.

Under the pen-name F. Clinton Barrington he wrote stories for popular publications like Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion. He met Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1846 and told him that he "has written eighty novels, and of these twenty during the last year."

Ingraham died at the age of 51, in Holly Springs, Mississippi from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in the vestibule of his church.

Reviews

[Su Williams]

While long and a bit superfluous at times, I grew to love King David more, through Rev. Ingraham's words. I cherish my books in this series (Pillar of Fire, Prince of the House of David) printed in the mid 1850's.
