Writer Irving Bacheller on the grounds of his Florida estate, which he called "Gate o' the Isles." It included fifty acres and the house overlooked a lake, so there was lots of room for his dog to enjoy.
Bacheller was a kind man who served on many boards and always gave an autograph when requested.
A photo portrait of Bacheller for the back cover of one of his books.
Bacheller's home became a tourist attraction and was on numerous postcards sold in Florida.
This photo shows tourists paddling to get a better look of Bacheller's house, which you can spot in the distance by it distinctive roof.
