Biography
American writer, author of Hopalong Cassidy, written in 1904. He wrote it in Fryeburg, Maine, United States, and the many stories and 28 novels were followed by radio, feature film, television, and comic book versions, often deviating significantly from the original stories, especially in the character's traits. While many of his stories depicted Cassidy and other men of the Bar-20 ranch, he also wrote novels (and short stories) of other Westerners, starting with Johnny Nelson in 1920. He also wrote nonfiction, mostly about the West, the outdoors, and motoring. Clarence died of complications from surgery in Portland, Maine on 10 May 1956.

Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes "Hopalong Cassidy: The Clarence E. Mulford Story" by Bernard Alger Drew (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow, 1991), p. 1: "'I have been told that I was born at eight o'clock in the evening of the third of February, 1883,' Clarence Edward Mulford once wrote, 'although while I was present at the time, this small detail escaped me.' The local newspaper was quaint in its announcement: 'Dr. Pratt whispered in our ear yesterday that there was joy in the home of Clarence Mulford on Saturday night. It is a boy and tops the scales at nine pounds.'"
