About the author

Born in Montana Territory on November 11, 1883, Wilbur Coleman Tuttle became one of the most productive writers of the pulp era. He sold more than 1,000 magazine stories and published dozens of novels, nearly all of them Westerns, while also working as an artist, illustrator, and screenwriter for silent films.

Tuttle’s main market was Adventure, where readers voted him the magazine’s most popular writer in a 1930 poll. He also wrote for Argosy, Short Stories, Western Story Magazine, Field & Stream, West, New Western Magazine, and Exciting Western. His best-known characters, Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens, solved crimes while working as cowboys. Tuttle died in Los Angeles County, California, on June 6, 1969.
