James B. Hendryx
Well-remembered for his Black John and Corporal Downey action and mystery adventures set in Alaska and the Canadian wilderness, Hendryx spent his early years experiencing the kind of life he would write about: He sought his fortune in the Alaska Gold Rush, had a ranch in the Badlands of Wyoming, and had an enormous range of experiences, including "enough law school to stay out of jail." Hendryx was no armchair adventurer -- he was tough as his characters, yet with a great sense of humor and a gentle manner. Visit http://www.halfadaycreek.com/. Thanks to Peter Ruber for this info!

Re: "The Gillian Hazeltine, Attorney Sleuth Series"
I show the following titles in Blue Book as being Hazeltine stories. Can anyone confirm?
The Silencer Mystery 10-1928
The Plastic Dagger 8-1945
This information was apparently from Xenophile #24, which I no longer own.
Who should get the credit for the listing -- Pulplady?
