William Murray Graydon (1864-1946) was an American writer known for his adventure and boys' fiction, often published in pulp magazines during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Despite his prolific output, much of his work remains obscure today, overshadowed by other contemporaneous authors.

Among the passengers in the smoking-car was a...

CHAPTER I. THE SAVING OF GRAY MOOSE. I have long had in mind to set down the story of my early life, and now, as I draw pen and paper to me for the commencement of the task, I feel the inspiration of those who wrote straight from the heart.
