Autorenporträt

Frank Hamilton Spearman, born on September 6, 1859, in McCook, Nebraska, was an American author known for his contributions to Western fiction, particularly focusing on railroads. Despite his prolific writing career on railroad topics, Spearman's professional life was centered around banking, serving as the president of a bank in McCook, rather than working for a railroad. His works were frequently illustrated by notable artists, including N. C. Wyeth for "Whispering Smith." Spearman's writing often reflected his devout Roman Catholic faith and his political beliefs, which leaned towards a proto-Libertarian viewpoint. His most famous work, "Whispering Smith," inspired by real-life Union Pacific Railroad detectives, was adapted into several films, including four silent versions and later sound films, and even a 1961 TV series. Spearman's novels, particularly in the Western genre, were highly regarded during his time and have been reprinted multiple times, ensuring his legacy in American literature. He passed away on December 29, 1937. His literary impact continues to be felt through the lasting popularity and adaptation of his works.
