Henry Kitchell Webster (September 7, 1875 – December 8, 1932) was an American author who lived in Evanston, Illinois. He wrote novels and short stories on themes ranging from mystery to family drama to science fiction. He first achieved moderate recognition in 1899 when he co-wrote ''The Short Line War'' with fellow Illinois author Samuel Merwin, with whom he later collaborated to write one of his more famous works, ''Calumet "K"'' (1901). ==Popularity==
''Calumet "K"'', which ''The Chicago Daily Tribune'' called "a vivifying romance of business," has maintained a modest level of popularity due to its status as Ayn Rand's favorite novel, a source of inspiration for her Objectivist philosophy.〔Rand, Ayn (July, 1967).
