John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir (1875-1940), was a Scottish novelist and author known for his adventure novels and non-fiction works. He served as the 15th Governor General of Canada and is most famous for his novel "The Thirty-Nine Steps," which was adapted into the Alfred Hitchcock film "The 39 Steps." Buchan featured the novel's protagonist, Richard Hannay, in several other works.

John Buchan's "Sick Heart River," also known as "Mountain Meadow," follows the protagonist's journey into the Canadian wilderness in search of solace and redemption. In "The Long Traverse," alternatively titled "Lake of Gold," the narrative explores themes of adventure and discovery. "Memory Hold-the-Door," released as "Pilgrim's Way" in the United States, delves into the author's personal reflections and experiences. Each work encapsulates Buchan's signature blend of introspection and exploration, drawing readers into compelling tales of human endurance and transformation.
