Norman Fitzroy Maclean was an American author and scholar noted for his books A River Runs Through It and Other Stories and Young Men and Fire. Born in Clarinda, Iowa, on December 23, 1902, Maclean was the son of Clara Evelyn and the Reverend John Norman Maclean, a Presbyterian minister, who managed much of the education of the young Norman and his brother Paul Davidson until 1913. His parents had migrated from Nova Scotia, Canada. After Clarinda, the family relocated to Missoula, Montana in 1909. The following years were a considerable influence on and inspiration to his writings, appearing prominently in the short story The Woods, Books, and Truant Officers, and semi-autobiographical novella A River Runs Through It.
In an email to me a few years ago, Dr. Maclean's son told me his father's ashes were scattered in the mountains of Montana.
