Clarence Edward Mulford was the author of Hopalong Cassidy, written in 1904. He wrote it in Fryeburg, Maine, United States, and the many stories and 28 novels were followed by radio, feature film, television, and comic book versions. Clarence was born in Streator, Illinois. He died of complications from surgery in Portland, Maine. He set aside much of his money from his book for local charities.
Classic Hopalong Cassidy novel first published in 1921. An example of the real Cassidy, not the one publishers forced Louis L'Amour to write when they wanted to cash in on the popularity of the "cleaned up" TV series in the early 1950's. L'Amour's versions are good but this is the real thing. Any fan of westerns should not ignore the Mulford novels.
