Biographical / Historical
Author Wilbur Daniel Steele was born in 1886 in Greensboro, N.C. His father became Professor in the School of Theology at
the University of Denver in 1893 where Wilbur D. Steele had his early education and later won a two year scholarship where
he was active in athletics. His love of art brought him to Boston where he attended the school of fine arts attached to the
Boston Museum. He showed great promise in art, but began to write short stories.
In 1913 he married Margaret Thurston who was a talented painter. They had two sons. In 1931 Mrs. Steele died. In 1932 he married
Norma Mitchell, an actress and playwright with whom he collaborated on several plays. They make their home at Lynne, Connecticut
where they still reside.
He was several times winner of the coveted O. Henry Short Story Prize. He traveled widely in Africa and Europe, basing many
of his stories from various places he lived or visited.
