Stewart Edward White (1873-1946) was an American author, adventurer, and spiritualist known for his vivid outdoor adventure stories and later writings on metaphysical subjects. Early in his career, he gained popularity with novels and nonfiction works that captured the spirit of the American frontier, including The Blazed Trail and The Silent Places. His writing combined a love of nature with detailed realism, often drawing from his own experiences in the wilderness. In his later years, White turned to spiritual and psychic topics, co-authoring several books with his wife, Betty. His diverse body of work reflects a deep curiosity about both the physical and unseen worlds
