About the author
Born in Glendive, Montana, on November 11, 1883, he became one of the most productive writers in early 20th-century popular fiction. Reference sources consistently describe him as an American writer of Westerns, and note that he also worked as an artist, illustrator, and screenwriter during the silent-film era.
His reputation rests largely on an enormous output: more than 1,000 magazine stories and many novels, nearly all of them Westerns. Readers and bibliographic sources especially connect him with the recurring characters Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens, whose adventures helped make his name familiar to pulp and Western-fiction audiences.
He died on June 6, 1969. Though not always as widely known today as some later Western authors, his work remains part of the classic pulp-Western tradition and is still circulated through library, archive, and reprint collections.
