History
Captain Harry J.C. Graham, 1874-1936, was born in England. He was educated at Eton and Sandhurst, and served in the Coldstream Guards. From 1898 to 1901 he was aide-de-camp to Lord Minto, who was Governor-General of Canada from 1989 to 1904. He accompanied Lord Minto on a trip across Canada to the Klondike gold rush in the Yukon, July 19-October 13, 1900. He kept a journal of the trip, which was later presented to Lord and Lady Minto. On his return to Britain he became a journalist and author of popular fiction. In 1910 he married Dorothy Villiers, and they had at least one child, Virginia (Thesiger).
