John Henry Goldfrap (1879–1917) was an English-born author and journalist, best known for his works of children's adventure fiction. After moving to the United States, Goldfrap worked for the Evening World and contributed to several San Francisco newspapers before relocating to New York in 1905. Goldfrap became prominent in the early 20th century as a writer of boys’ adventure books, often contributing to the "American series phenomenon." He wrote under various pen names including Captain James Carson, Marvin West, Freemont B. Deering, and Captain Wilbur Lawton, among others. His most recognized works include the "Boy Scouts" series. Aside from his books, Goldfrap was also involved in writing movie scripts. Unfortunately, his life was cut short when he died of tuberculosis in 1917 at Seaside Hospital, Staten Island, leaving behind a widow. Despite his brief career, Goldfrap made significant contributions to the world of children’s literature, creating stories filled with adventure and life lessons that still resonate with readers today.
