Robert Michael Ballantyne, a Scottish author and artist, embarked on a journey to Canada at 16, becoming a fur trader after his father's printing business failed. His adventurous experiences fueled his writing career, leading him to publish over 100 books and gain recognition as a prominent adventure writer. Notably, his novel influenced future classics, including Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Ballantyne's artistic talents also shone through his water-colour exhibitions at the Royal Scottish Academy.
