Short biography
This is the author page for the American artist, John La Farge ((March 31, 1835 – November 14, 1910). One of his sons, also named John La Farge (February 13, 1880 - November 25, 1963), was a priest and writer. If you have a book by the son on this page, you may wish to edit your author field so that it appears on the correct page. To confuse matters even further, his great-grandson, John "Pen" La Farge, is also an author with his own author page.
