Biography

Donald Barr Chidsey was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on May 14, 1902. He worked at the Elizabeth Daily Journal, and traveled widely in his youth.

He wrote more than fifty books. Alden Whitman called him "an old hand at light writing."[1] According to Kirkus Reviews, Chidsey "is known for his popular American histories, and has a nose for a good story."[2]

He lived in Lyme, Connecticut for many years. Along with artist W. Langdon Kihn, he was a Democratic candidate for the Connecticut House of Representatives from the town of Lyme, in the November 2, 1948 election.[3]

He died on March 17, 1981, in Lawrence Memorial Hospital at New London, Connecticut.[4]
