Clarence Edward Mulford
Clarence Edward Mulford (1883–1956) was an American author best known for creating the character Hopalong Cassidy. His first novel, "Bar-20," was published in 1906, introducing readers to the gritty, realistic world of the Old West. Mulford's original depiction of Cassidy was much rougher than the polished version portrayed in later films and TV shows. Over his career, Mulford wrote more than two dozen books in the Hopalong Cassidy series, cementing his place in Western fiction history.

CHAPTER I. Buckskin The town lay sprawled over half a square mile of alkali plain, its main Street depressing in its width, for those who were responsible for its inception had worked with a generosity born of the knowledge that they had at their immediate and unchallenged disposal the broad lands of Texas and New Mexico on which to assemble a grand total of twenty buildings, four of which were of...
