Biography
David E. Scott was born in 1939 and received his education in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Ontario. He had a long career in journalism, working variously as a reporter, photographer, and editor, including as a bureau chief for The Canadian Press and travel editor for the London Free Press. He was the owner and publisher of two newspapers in Ontario, including the Fort Erie Times-Review, which he purchased in 1965. Scott sold his publishing company, David E. Scott Publishing, along with its publications in September 1969. In the early 1970s, he owned a disco bar in the Principality of Andorra. He re-established David E. Scott Publishing in 2001 as a book publishing company, with its first two titles being a third edition of his Ontario Place Names and More Great Canadian Fishing Stories. Scott is the author of several titles on the subject of place-names in Canada, such as Ontario Place Names and New Brunswick Place Names.
