| George Bruce Marquis - Western Author |
George Bruce Marquis, not to be confused with the George
Bruce of aviation pulp fame, wrote more than a hundred stories in a forty year
career in the pulps, starting in 1912 in the Cavalier, and ending in Short
Stories in 1951. Most of his stories were westerns, many featuring a series
character called Bat Jennison – a wandering cowboy knight errant. I got
interested in him after reading a couple of stories in West, and decided to
look him up. This article is the result, mostly based on the accounts in the
Whitman College Archives Newsletter.
