Howdy to all the Ballantyne the Brave readers! My name is John, and I will be doing a lot of writing here on the blog. Thank you, Josh, for all the kind things you said about me in your previous post. I'm really looking forward to working on this site, and hopefully keeping the blog updated. In the coming months I hope to post a lot of interesting information on Ballantyne and his books.
For a little background, I've loved reading ever since I was a young boy. G. A. Henty is my first love, and I've been reading his classic books for years. I was introduced to Ballantyne when Vision Forum first began republishing his works, and I've loved him since! I really appreciate the opportunity Josh has given me, and I hope to use it well.
But enough of me, now for Ballantyne! As I'm sure you know by now, R.M.B. was a man of great character. In the months to follow, I will be writing a series of articles on different aspects of Ballantyne's nature (as well as many other subjects). Future titles in the Man of Character series may include:
Man of Generosity
Man of Adventure
Man of Family
Man of Technology
Man of Research
Man of Faith
Do you have some particular areas you would like to see addressed? If so, please send them to me, and if I like the idea, I might use it.
Watch for Man of Generosity, coming soon!
Tutela ex Vulnero,
~John
