The author was the son of Duncan Clinch Heyward, who was a Governor of South Carolina. He served in The Charleston Light Dragoons and served with them on the Mexican border in 1916. In 1917 he enrolled in the first Officers training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia and served during WWI as a First Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. After the war, he became a pioneer in game conservation and an prolific contributor to sports magazines such as Field and Stream. He also at times was an inventor (a version of an automobile jack), and investment broker, and an insurance salesman. He retired from the insurance business in 1949 due to ill health.

In the Pythians he was made grand chancellor and it was in this position that he formed many warm friendships and ultimately was persuaded to run for Governor. However, he would first have to win the Democrat primary for Governor. He would face fellow Democrat, W. J. Talbert, a former congressman, considered one of the most experienced politicians in the State. Despite his lack of political experience he soundly defeated Talbert in both primaries. Since there was no Republican candidate in the General election he ran unopposed and took office on January 22, 1903. After his two year term expired he was again nominated for Governor, this time without opposition. During his second term as Governor he was elected president of the Standard Warehouse company and would continue in this capacity after his second term ended in 1907. …
