William Henry Fitchett

About the Author

William Henry Fitchett (1841-1928) was an Australian journalist, historian, novelist, minister, and editor.  He wrote three novels, and a number of successful popular histories—including Deeds that Won the Empire (1896)—but he viewed his work as the founding president of the Methodist Ladies’ College of Melbourne to be his crowning achievement.
