Louis Wain Fact #72:
Wain was often cited as the author of “A Vagabond in New York,” a controversial newspaper column written by an anonymous Englishman in America, often being insulting and apparently Anti-American. However, Wain merely wrote in to a newspaper a few times regarding the Vagabond, and the public conflated the Vagabond’s writing and Wain’s own unrelated travels in America. This confusion would be mostly resolved when Oliver Hueffer compiled his writings in a book, coming out as the true author.
