  Passage: Henry James O'Brien Bedford-Jones (1887–1949) was a Canadian historical, adventure fantasy, science fiction, crime and Western writer who became a naturalized United States citizen in 1908.  After being encouraged to try writing by his friend, writer William Wallace Cook, Bedford-Jones began writing dime novels and pulp magazine stories.  Bedford-Jones was an enormously prolific writer; the pulp editor Harold Hersey once recalled meeting Bedford-Jones in Paris, where he was working on two novels simultaneously, each story on its own separate typewriter.  Bedford-Jones cited Alexandre Dumas as his main influence, and wrote a sequel to Dumas' "The Three Musketeers", "D'Artagnan" (1928).  He wrote over 100 novels, earning the nickname "King of the Pulps".  His works appeared in a number of pulp magazines.  Bedford-Jones' main publisher was "Blue Book" magazine; he also appeared in "Adventure", "All-Story Weekly", "Argosy", "Short Stories", "Top-Notch Magazine", "The Magic Carpet", "Golden Fleece", "Ace-High Magazine", "People's Story Magazine", "Hutchinson's Adventure-Story Magazine", "Detective Fiction Weekly", "Western Story Magazine", and "Weird Tales".
