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.〔Mike Ashley, "Bedford Jones, H(enry James O'Brien)", in ''St. James Guide To Fantasy Writers'', edited by David Pringle, St. James Press, 1996, ISBN 1-55862-205-5, p. 51-3.〕 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).〔Bernard A. Drew, ''Literary afterlife: the posthumous continuations of 325 authors' fictional characters''. McFarland, 2010, ISBN 0-7864-4179-8 (pp. 43-44).〕 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''. In addition to writing fiction, Bedford-Jones also worked as a journalist for the ''Boston Globe'', and wrote poetry.〔 Bedford-Jones was a friend of Erle Stanley Gardner and Vincent Starrett. 〔(H.
