Alan Sullivan (1868–1947) was a Canadian writer known for his historical and adventure novels, often depicting the landscapes and histories of Canada. His novel In the Beginning (1921) is a historical narrative that explores early Canadian settlement and indigenous interactions, reflecting themes of exploration, survival, and cultural encounters. Sullivan's writing is characterized by vivid descriptions and a deep appreciation for the natural world, aligning with the tradition of Canadian frontier literature. While his work has been praised for its storytelling and historical depth, it also reflects the colonial perspectives of its time.
