Griswood, George Alan (Grisewood)
George Alan Griswood (Grisewood; May 17, 1891 - April 23, 1966), often signing as 'Rev. G. A. Griswood' was a Christian fundamentalist author active in the 1910s through the 1940s. Griswood was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but grew up in Lancashire, England. His family emigrated to Montreal, Canada, in 1906, and in 1914, he joined the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force to fight in World War I (1914 - 1918). After the war, he emigrated to the United States, settling in San Diego, then Riverside, where he appears in directories as an artist. There, he hosted a local Christian radio program aimed at young Baptists and contributed to Christian Zionist publications such as The Chosen People and Our Hope. In the 1930s and 1940s, Griswood opposed Antisemitism and supported Zionism from a Christian perspective, being closely affiliated with the organization American Board of Missions to the Jews (ABMJ). After the 1930 death of his wife, Lelah Augusta Thompson (1902 - 1930), he relocated to Phoenix, Arizona. By 1942, we find him in Dallas, Texas, where he remained until his death in 1966.
