Holder came from a wealthy Massachusetts Quaker family. His father was the zoologist Joseph Bassett Holder (1824-1888) and his mother Emily Augusta Gove.〔http://www.emery.research.pasttracker.com/john-anthony008/EMERY8E1.htm〕
After working as a curator at New York's American Museum of Natural History, he moved to Pasadena, California in 1885. A passionate naturalist throughout his life, he was known for his books on marine zoology and the first books on big-game fishing, a sport Holder pioneered in 1898.〔(The history of game fishing )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=49856 )〕 His books are noted for their combination of accurate scientific detail with exciting narratives.〔(Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America ) (2005)〕
From 1890 to 1891, Holder was a President of the Tournament of Roses Association, and for 1910 he was named the tournament grand marshal. He became known in Pasadena, California, as a businessman, philanthropist, and conservationist/sportsman. In 1898, he founded the Tuna Club of Avalon in Avalon, California on Santa Catalina Island, California, as an international organization that called for proper management of all game fish.〔(The History of The Tuna Club of Avalon )〕〔(International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame )〕
In 1910, he traveled with Frederick Russell Burnham to Mexico and uncovered Mayan artifacts, including the ''Esperanza Stone'', a supposedly paranormal relic described in ''The Book of the Damned.
In 1998, he was inducted in the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame.〔
