Martin Allerdale Grainger
Martin Allerdale Grainger (17 November 1874 — 15 October 1941) was a Canadian journalist, forester and author. In literary circles, he is best known for his 1908 novel ''Woodsmen of the West'', a realist work about the logging industry. He was an influential figure in developing forestry in British Columbia, as primary author of the report that led to the ''Forestry Act'' of 1912, and as chief forester, a position he held from 1917 until 1920.
==Biography==
Grainger was born in London, England. As a child he lived in Australia and was initially educated at St Peter's College in Adelaide before returning to the United Kingdom to attend Blundell's School in Tiverton and King's College at the University of Cambridge, where he excelled in mathematics. On graduation from Cambridge in 1896, he went to the Klondike and later served as a trooper with Roberts's Horse in the Boer War in 1899 - 1902. Grainger then travelled to northern British Columbia where he worked at placer mining, logging and journalism. In 1908, while in England, he wrote ''Woodsmen of the West'', a novel based on his experiences as a logger. In 1909, he returned to British Columbia and served as secretary to the Royal Commission on Forestry. In this capacity, he wrote most of the report on which the ''Forestry Act'' (1912) was based, leading to the formation of the British Columbia Forestry Service. He served as Deputy Chief Forester and, from 1917 to 1920, as Chief Forester of British Columbia. From 1920, he ran a logging company.
He died in Vancouver in 1941.〔(Grainger, Martin Allerdale, 1874-1941 ) Canadian Archival Information Network. Accessed: 13 June 2006〕〔(Janet Bowden fonds ) BC Archives. Accessed: 13 June 2006〕
