W. B. M. (William Blair Morton) Ferguson

William Blair Morton Ferguson, who published as W. B. M. Ferguson, was an English-language author born in 1882 and died in 1967. Library of Congress records identify his work with pulp literature and dime novels, and also note William Morton as a related name form or pseudonym.

His surviving bibliography shows a writer comfortable across popular genres. Among the works reliably linked to him are Garrison's Finish: A Romance of the Race Course and The Black Company, and catalog records suggest he also contributed at least one Nick Carter story under that long-running house name.

Ferguson's fiction had a life beyond the page. His novel Garrison's Finish was adapted into a 1923 silent film, and film databases also connect him with The Guardian (1917), Zollenstein (1917), and The Man with 100 Faces (released on film in 1938 as Crackerjack). Detailed personal biographical information appears to be scarce, but the record that remains points to a versatile professional writer whose stories fit naturally into the fast-moving popular entertainment of his era.
