Charles Bertrand Lewis was an American author whose work was republished in the Australian Journal during the nineteenth century. Lewis worked for various newspapers as a printer, foreman, and editor. He joined the staff of the Detroit Free Press and bought an interest in that paper, contributing regularly to it. 'The Lime Kiln Club', 'The Arizona Kicker', 'Mr. and Mrs. Bowser', and 'Carl Dunder' were the titles of some of his weekly articles.
Lewis also published numerous books, both under his own name and under the pseudonym M. Quad, including Mr. and Mrs. Bowser and Their Varied Experiences (1899), and Trials and Troubles of the Bowser Family (1899). After twenty-two years with the Free Press, Lewis left that paper in 1891 and joined the staffs of the New York World and the Evening World, where he remained until his death in 1924.
