Wright, Harold Bell: That Printer of Udell's. v1. 8 Jan 2015
Harold Bell Wright (May 4, 1872 – May 24, 1944) was a best-selling American writer of fiction, essays, and non-fiction during the first half of the 20th century. Although mostly forgotten or ignored after the middle of the 20th century, he is said to have been the first American writer to sell a million copies of a novel and the first to make $1 million from writing fiction. Between 1902 and 1942 Wright wrote 19 books, several stage plays, and many magazine articles. More than 15 movies were made or claimed to be made from Wright's stories, including Gary Cooper's first major movie, The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926) and the John Wayne film, The Shepherd of the Hills (1941).
Dick Falkner, who comes from a broken home, sees his father under the influence of alcohol and his mother starving. After his parents' death, young Dick Falkner, a newcomer in Boyd City, lives among the poor until he lands a job and begins work at Udell's print shop. He joins a church, but offends the congregation by promoting ministry among the "lower classes." When a poor man is found dead on the church steps, and a mystery ensues.
