Harry E. (Harry Edward) Maule

Born in Fairmont, Nebraska, in 1886, Harry Edward Maule built a long career in American journalism and publishing. Reliable library and archival sources describe him as an American editor and publishing executive, and Nebraska Authors notes that he worked as a journalist before moving into editorial roles.

He became especially associated with major publishing firms, including Doubleday and later Random House, where Nebraska Authors says he remained until his retirement in 1966. The same source describes him as a friend and editor of Sinclair Lewis and notes his deep involvement with Western Americana, pulp Western magazines, anthologies, and collections connected with the Western Writers of America.

As an author, he is remembered for works such as The Boy's Book of New Inventions, which reflects his interest in explaining technology and modern progress to general readers. While a suitable verified portrait image was not available from the sources I could confirm here, his professional record clearly shows a figure who moved comfortably between reporting, editing, and writing.
