Holman Francis Day was born on November 6, 1865 in Vassalboro, Maine. He was the second of the three sons of Captain John R. and Mary A. (Carter) Day, an enterprising and highly respected couple.
Day attended Oak Grove, a Quaker seminary in his native town of Vassalboro, Maine, and Colby College, where he made some reputation as a wit, writer, and drinker. He graduated in 1887.
Colby College conferred the degree of Doctor of Law upon him in 1907.
In 1887 Day became man-of-all-work for the Fairfield Journal, to which he contributed his first Maine country column, "Evenings in a Country Store. " From 1888 to 1892 he was editor and part owner of the Dexter Gazette (later Eastern Gazette), which he made a successful and sprightly country weekly. During the next twenty years he was chiefly associated as special correspondent and columnist with the Lewiston Evening Journal, though at times he was briefly connected with other papers in Maine and in Boston.
For the Journal he conducted a column called "Up in Maine, " from which were made up his three volumes of verse, Up in Maine (1900), Pine Tree Ballads (1902), and Kin o' Ktaadn (1904).
Encouraged by the sale of these, which totaled over eighty thousand copies, he turned from journalism to literary work, contributing many short stories to the Youth's Companion, the Saturday Evening Post, and other magazines. He had lived, traveled, or camped in all parts of Maine and kept notes on unusual characters, with which he peopled his stories and novels. The earliest of the latter type, Squire Phin (1905), was acclaimed for its accurate characterization and was successfully dramatized as The Circus Man. In King Spruce (1908) and The Rider of the King Log (1919) he dealt with the Maine lumbering industry. In The Ramrodders (1910) he satirized Maine politics and prohibition, and The Red Lane (1912) dealt with liquor-smuggling across the New Brunswick border.
For a few years after 1919, Day was affiliated with a Maine motion-picture-producing concern which filmed a successful version of The Rider of the King Log (1921).
He removed to Hollywood in 1922 and spent the rest of his life on the Pacific Coast, engaged in the motion-picture industry and radio broadcasting, though continuing to turn out novels and stories.
His Clothes Make the Pirate (1925), a story with a pre-Revolutionary setting, was his only new film to be successful.
From 1926 to 1931 he lived near Carmel and thereafter mainly in San Francisco, haunted by fears of poverty. He died at Mill Valley, California, after a long illness.

book
Day's irregular conduct, self-centered nature, and engrossment in work kept him from having intimate friends among the many acquaintances who admired his wit, ability, and fund of stories and anecdotes.
On February 6, 1889, Day married Helen Rowell Gerald, the daughter of a manufacturer of Fairfield who gave Day financial assistance. They had two children, Ruth Geraldine, who lived only a few months, and Dorothy.
Both Day and his wife were talented, intemperate, and wayward, and their married life, in Dexter, Auburn, and Portland, was unhappy. After her death in July 1902, Day married Agnes (Bearce) Nevens, divorced wife of a traveling salesman.
His second marriage, like the first, did not turn out well, and after a divorce in 1927 he married, third, Florence Levin, who had been for several years his literary assistant and companion.
