| Author Biography |
According to the Federal census, Benjamin Haven (1857-unknown) was born in Pennsylvania and worked as a storeroom clerk for a manufacturing firm in Swissvale, Allegheny County. In a preface to his story of moral reform, he claims he himself was inspired as a boy in Swissvale on a visit by the town's namesake, abolitionist Jane Swisshelm, and more recently by the popular evangelist Billy Sunday while preaching in Pittsburgh.
