Peter Carter Biography

Peter Carter, publisher, was born in Earlston, Berwickshire, Scotland, July 19, 1825, son of Thomas and Agnes (Ewing) Carter. He was brought to the United States at the age of seven, and settled in Galway, N. Y. After attending the public schools he obtained employment in a bookstore. There he mastered the details of the business, and in 1848 was admitted with his brother Walter into partnership with his older brother, Robert Carter, who had established a bookstore in New York city in 1834. He is the author of Crumbs from the Land o' Cakes (1851); Scotia's Bards (1853); Bertie Lee (1862); Donald Frazer (1867), and Little Effie's Home (1869).
