Charles M. Sheldon: Illustrations for adventure books

Charles M. Sheldon (1857-1946) was an American social reformer who was best known for his authorship of the best selling inspirational novel In His Steps (1897). However, he was an illustrator, too. In contrast to his religious activity there are nearly no informations on his illustration activity  to find in the net. He was active as an artist 1891-1910.
