The George Frederick Clarke Project
George Frederick Clarke (1883-1973) was once New Brunswick’s best known writer and one of the province’s most prominent citizens. He was interested in almost everything and wrote about everything that interested him.
He was a writer of novels, short stories, books for children, regional history, poetry, essays, books on salmon fishing, and on archaeology in the St. John River Valley. He published thirteen books and dozens of short stories and articles.
George Frederick Clarke spent his whole life in his hometown of Woodstock, NB. He had a passionate attachment to the rivers, lakes, and forestland, as well as to the people of his home region. He said he would never want to live anywhere else. Clarke was a dentist by trade but a writer by profession. He started writing at age twelve and never stopped. Chapel Street Editions has launched The George Frederick Clarke Project with the aim of bringing his books back into print and issuing new books of his unpublished writing.
