James Grant

James Grant (1822-1887) was a Scottish novelist, born in Edinburgh. He joined the army as an ensign at 17, but after a few years resigned and adopted literature as his profession. "The Romance of War" (1846), his first book, was followed by a series of stirring novels which are yet in repute, and have most of them been translated into Danish, German, and French. He turned Catholic in 1875.
