Eric Knight was born April 10, 1897 in Yorkshire, England, and grew up in the mill towns where stories of "come-home" dogs were common. He immigrated to the United States in 1912, settling in Philadelphia, and later studied music and art, attending the Cambridge Latin School in Massachusetts. He joined the Princess Pat Regiment in Toronto, Canada, in 1917 to fight for Yorkshire, and his two brothers, who enlisted in the Pennsylvania National Guard, were killed on the same day in 1919.
