Ben Ames Williams

Ben Ames Williams (March 7, 1889 – February 4, 1953) was an accomplished American novelist and short story writer; he wrote hundreds of short stories and over thirty novels during the course of his life. Among his novels are ''Come Spring'' (1940), ''Leave Her to Heaven'' (1944) ''House Divided'' (1947), and ''The Unconquered'' (1953). He was published in many magazines, but the majority of his stories appeared in the pages of the ''Saturday Evening Post''.
==Early life==
Williams was born in Macon, Mississippi to Daniel Webster Williams and Sarah Marshall Ames on March 7, 1889.〔Cary, Richard. "Ben Ames Williams profile", ''Saturday Evening Post: Colby Quarterly 10.4''.〕〔Cary, Richard. “Ben Ames Williams in Periodicals and Newspapers”, ''Colby Quarterly 9.11''.
Just after his birth, he and his parents moved to Jackson, Ohio. As his father was owner and editor of the ''Jackson Standard Journal'', he grew up around writing, printing, and editing. In high school he worked for the ''Journal'', doing grunt work in the beginning and eventually writing and editing. He attended Dartmouth College and upon graduation in 1910 was offered a job teaching English at a boys school in Connecticut. He telegraphed his father seeking career advice, but his handwriting was terrible and his father mistook “teaching” for “traveling” and, not wanting his son to become a travelling businessman, advised him not to take the job. Richard Cary says it later saved Williams from “a purgatory of grading endless, immature English ‘themes’” and propelled him “toward a career as one of the most popular storytellers of his time 〔Cary, Richard. “Ben Ames Williams: The Apprentice Years”, ''Saturday Evening Post: Colby Quarterly 9.11'' (1972): pp 586-99.
After graduation he took a job reporting for the ''Boston American''. Williams worked hard reporting for the local newspaper, but only did this for income; his heart lay with magazine fiction. Each night he worked on his fiction writing with the aspiration that one day, his stories would be able to support himself, his wife, Florence Talpey, and their children, Roger, Ben, and Penelope.
