About the author
Born in Helena, Arkansas, on November 29, 1896, he grew up partly in Texas, a background that shaped much of his fiction. Reliable reference sources describe him as an American writer of western, mystery, and sea stories, and archival material notes that he served in the U.S. Navy during both World Wars.
He became especially known for western fiction and for writing about gunfighters, Rangers, and other figures from frontier history. Sources on his career describe him as highly productive, with a long output of novels and short stories that helped make him a familiar name to readers of popular historical adventure.
Later in life he lived in California and died at his home in San Francisco on October 18, 1957. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the pages reviewed during this search, so a profile image is not included.
