David Francis Bacon (November 30, 1813 – January 23, 1865) was an American physician and author. He published three books:

Obituary

He was a son of Rev. David Bacon, (well known as one of the missionary pioneers of Ohio and Michigan), and was born November 30, 1813, in Prospect, Connecticut. He graduated from Yale College in 1831 and Yale Medical School in 1836. A short time afterwards he was sent out by the American Colonization Society, as principal colonial Physician in Liberia.

After his return from Liberia, he published three parts of a work entitled

Wanderings on the Seas and Shores of Africa,[3]

in which his observations on the west coast of that country are very minutely recorded (N. Y. 1843. 8vo)

During most of his life he resided in New York, and at one time he was actively engaged in political affairs, as an earnest advocate of the election of Henry Clay to the Presidency. He was a frequent contributor to the periodicals of the day.

In 1835 he published a work, evincing much research, entitled Lives of the Apostles.[2]

He died in the city of New York, January 23, 1865, aged 51 years.
