Coningsby Dawson (26 February 1883 - 10 August 1959) was an Anglo-American novelist and soldier of the Canadian Field Artillery, born at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. At his parents' home in Taunton, Massachusetts, he wrote poems, short stories, and three novels: Garden Without Walls (1913), an immediate success, followed by The Raft and Slaves of Freedom. In 1906 while travelling in western Canada collecting material for magazine articles Coningsby stayed in Nelson, British Columbia. He was impressed with the beauty of the Kootenays and sent a telegram to his brother Reg, encouraging him to come west and try his hand at apple growing. Coningsby's father purchased 40 acres and Reg cleared the land, built a cabin and planted trees. The ranch, as it was called, became a summer destination for the family. In his wartime letters home Con fondly recalls the time spent at the ranch as he gazes at the moon from the battlefield trenches.
