Henry Abner

''Henry Abner'' (September 17, 1884 – July 10, 1935) was the pen name of policeman and fiction author Henry Abner Sturdivant. Abner was a well-known but commercially unsuccessful writer of golden era hard-boiled detective novels and short stories (active 1925-1935). An untimely death led to Abner being nearly forgotten during the post-war heyday of detective fiction. In fact, Abner is probably best remembered today as the butt of scorn from Raymond Chandler in his 1950 essay The Simple Art of Murder, in which Chandler lampoons Abner's first novel ''Death Wears Yellow Garters''.
==Personal Life & Law Enforcement Career==
Henry Abner Sturdivant was the fourth of six children born to to John Patrick and Susan Frances Sturdivant. The Sturdivants were a prominent rural planter family from Taliaferro County, Georgia, although little is known about Abner's childhood. Abner followed in the footsteps of his older brothers in choosing a career in law enforcement. Eldest surviving brother Thurman Olin (T.O.) Sturdivant would eventually become Chief of Police of the City of Atlanta, and next eldest brother William Jefferson Sturdivant was a railroad detective for the Pinkerton detective agency.
Before becoming a police officer, Abner spent time working the cotton fields with relatives in Echols County, Georgia, near the Florida border. The time he spent there, though brief, would be influential in his writing, as the backwoods swamp would become a favorite setting for future work.
Abner married Lora Maddie Campbell on March 26, 1922. They produced only one child, a daughter named Sara (born September 20, 1928). Abner joined the police force of Washington, GA in 1910 and was promoted to chief by the summer of 1921. Although a strict man, Abner, or Chief Sturdivant as he was known, was popular with locals, and particularly well-liked amongst Washington’s African American population.
