Attended Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee and read law. In 1898, he gave that up and joined his uncle Armstrong Hull in Denver. When the Spanish-American War broke out, he joined the Army and also served in the Philippine insurrection. After a tour in China and Japan, he returned to Denver where he became a newspaper man and followed that trade in Salt Lake City, Utah; Butte, Montana; San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Honolulu. In 1918, he sold a fiction story to Scribner's Magazine, which was purchased for a movie by the Universal Film Company. He then went to work as a scenario writer in Hollywood, retiring with the advent of "talkies." His second wife, Eleanor, was a war correspondent in Europe during World War I, writing
