The George Frederick Clarke Project

George Frederick Clarke (1883-1973) was once New Brunswick’s best known writer and one of the province’s most prominent citizens. He was interested in almost everything and wrote about everything that interested him.

He was a writer of novels, short stories, books for children, regional history, poetry, essays, books on salmon fishing, and on archaeology in the St. John River Valley. He published thirteen books and dozens of short stories and articles.

George Frederick Clarke spent his whole life in his hometown of Woodstock, NB. He had a passionate attachment to the rivers, lakes, and forestland, as well as to the people of his home region. He said he would never want to live anywhere else. Clarke was a dentist by trade but a writer by profession. He started writing at age twelve and never stopped. Chapel Street Editions has launched The George Frederick Clarke Project with the aim of bringing his books back into print and issuing new books of his unpublished writing.

One Way Ticket was published by Chapel Street Editions as a special project in coordination with The Friends World College Memories Project as part of the college's 50th anniversary celebration.

While it falls outside of our direct mandate of publishing the work of writers and artists of our region, it speaks to our larger goal of supporting books that advance an understanding of the relationship between the natural world, culture, and human stewardship of the environment.
