Henry Harrison Lewis

Born in Anderson, Indiana, on March 29, 1863, he became an American editor and author whose work was closely tied to popular fiction for younger readers. Reliable reference sources describe him as a writer of boys' adventure and pulp fiction, and note that he also wrote under the pseudonym Lieut. Lionel Lounsberry.

He was associated with Street & Smith, first as an editor in the 1890s and later as a magazine writer. Sources also credit him as the first editor of The Popular Magazine, linking him to the fast-growing world of mass-market fiction in the early 1900s.

His books often sent young protagonists into places of action and discovery, including war zones, Japan, and South America. He died in Los Angeles, California, on January 25, 1947.
