(1891-1968) US author of many Westerns from 1929; of sf interest is The Singing Scorpion (1934), an early title in his Three Mesquiteers sequence about three footloose adventurers; in this case an ancient relic – the emerald eyes of Zeronteotl, an Indian god – leads to the discovery of a Lost World.
