Balestier, Charles (Wolcott) (1861–91), American author and publisher, who visited England in 1888 to secure English manuscripts for Lovell, the publishing company which had issued his novel
A Fair Device (1886). He became a director of Heinemann and Balestier, a firm which published English and American books on the Continent. He is remembered for his collaboration with
Kipling (who married his sister in 1892): he wrote the American chapters for
The Naulahka (1892) and Kipling dedicated his
Barrack-Room Ballads to him in the same year.
