William Sabine was born in England, educated at private schools and with tutors, and taught at the Middlesex County Council Institute before coming to the United States in 1947. His publications had begun with poetry in England in 1929. In America he developed an interest in early American history, publishing titles about the Revolutionary era, of which the most popular, "The Historical Memoirs of William Smith, 1763-1783," was first published in 1956. He later became interested in the American flag and its history, followed by a rededication to a long-term interest in parapsychology. Sabine died in 1994.
