Rossiter Worthington Raymond (1840–1918) was an American mining engineer, legal scholar and author. At his memorial, the President of Lehigh University described him as “one of the most remarkable cases of versatility that our country has ever seen—sailor, soldier, engineer, lawyer, orator, editor, novelist, story-teller, poet, biblical critic, theologian, teacher, chess-player—he was superior in each capacity. What he did, he always did well.”

Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
—Rossiter W. Raymond
