  Well, not totally. According to an October 3, 2003 posting from Suzy Platt


..... a quick check of the LC catalog and two online databases we
subscribe to, BGMI (Biog. & Genealogy Master Index) and Biog. Index, I
found:

Harold Edward Bindloss, 1866-1945 (some say 1946).  LC probably has 50
titles by him, some juvenile lit., the others often sound westerns.  He
is in World Authors, 1900-1950, p. 243-4 / Who Was Who in Literature,
1906-1930 / Oxford Companion to Canadian Hist. & Lit. / 20th Centur
Authors.  There were other sources as well.   I looked at 4 or 5 titles;
the for instance,  was published in Edinburgh, the rest in New York.  --

  I believe Suzy is retired now---more's the pity!--- but maybe someone has
these
titles and can send you the information.
