		ROBERT MICHAEL BALLANTYNE (1825-1894), Scottish writer of fiction, was born at Edinburgh on the 24th of April 1825, and came of the same family as the famous printers and publishers.
		Ballantyne was also no mean artist, and exhibited some of his water-colours at the Royal Scottish Academy.
		He lived in later years at Harrow, and died on the 8th of February 1894, at Rome, where he had gone to attempt to shake off the results of overwork.

		At age 16 Robert obtained a post with the Hudson’s Bay Company through the influence of relatives: Frances Ramsay Simpson, wife of the company’s governor, Sir George Simpson, and her sister Isobel Graham Simpson, wife of the governor of Assiniboia, Duncan Finlayson, were distant cousins.
		Ballantyne was disappointed to learn that he was to be trained as secretary to Governor Simpson, and requested a wilderness post.
		Ballantyne supplemented his income as an author by giving public lectures describing life in Rupert’s Land, using slides projected by a magic lantern and displaying mementoes of the fur trade.

		Ballantyne was especially careful with the details of local flora and fauna, giving his dramatic adventures, capture and escape, shipwrecks and other colourful events and believable settings.
		Ballantyne opened views into the world that just waited for brave explorers, for the sons of the rapidly expanding literati of middle- and working-class families.
		Ballantyne's straitjacketed Puritanism did not arouse any questions, and the light hearted descriptions of the slaughter of fauna and natives of the islands were then passed without comment.
