In the 1910's he began selling stories to pulp fiction magazines. His love of mythology is evident in his fiction writings. Written in 1919 The Untamed is the story of Saddle bum Whistling Dan who lives off the land with his wolf Black Bart and stallion Satan. He was raised on a ranch alongside Kate Cumberland.
