Daniel Willard Streeter

Who is Daniel Willard Streeter?

Daniel Willard Streeter, S.B. Harvard College, 1907, was an American hunter, adventurer and author active in the 1920s, who lived in Buffalo, New York.

Streeter was born in Highland Park, Lake County Illinois, the son of Harvey Benjamin Streeter and his wife Fannie Barton Streeter. He was educated at The Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and after graduation from Harvard joined Buffalo Weaving & Belting Co, Buffalo, N.Y, becoming the firm's treasurer; thus he was described as "once a cotton manufacturer", there seems to be little information available about Mr. Streeter's life other than a long list of club and society memberships, which suggest that he was a conscientious objector during World War I but claim memberships both in National Women's Suffrage League and Society for the Opposition of Women's Suffrage, and material contained in his facetious travel books, which include Denatured Africa, Camels!, which describes a hunting safari in Sudan near the Blue Nile and the Dinder River, and An Arctic Rodeo. All three books were published by G.P.Putnam's Sons and contain interesting period photography.
