Van Tassel Sutphen

William Gilbert Van Tassel Sutphen (1861–1945) was an American author and editor who worked for many years at Harper & Brothers. He is remembered for his popular early golf fiction, including The Golficide and Other Tales of the Fair Green, and for his ventures into scientific romance. His 1906 novel The Doomsman is now cited by science-fiction historians as an unusually early example of post-apocalyptic and dystopian storytelling.
