Autor

Rev. Hiram Alfred Cody (1872-1948) was a Canadian clergyman and novelist. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Cody pursued religious studies and was ordained as an Anglican priest. He served in various parishes throughout the maritime provinces. Cody's literary career is often seen as a complement to his ecclesiastical duties, and his narratives frequently reflect the mores and virtues inherent to his vocation. His writing is characterized by a straightforward narrative style, imbued with a spirit of adventure and a deep sense of morality. Cody is best known for 'The Long Patrol: A Tale of the Mounted Police' which exemplifies his interest in Canadiana and the romanticism of the North-West Mounted Police. His work in this novel, as in others, appeals to a wide audience through its focus on heroism, duty, and the law. Though Cody's work may not have achieved the same acclaim as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to early Canadian literature offer a snapshot into the values and sentiments of his time. Despite the relative obscurity of his works in present-day literary circles, Cody's novels remain a testament to his ability to weave tales of adventure that espouse the virtues he himself held in high regard.
