Clarence E. Mulford (3 February 1883 – 10 May 1956) was the 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 was born in Streator, Illinois. He died of complications from surgery in Portland, Maine. He set aside much of his money from his books for local charities.More than just writing a very popular series of Westerns, Mulford re-created an entire detailed and authentic world filled with characters drawn from his extensive library research. His biographer, Francis Nevins, characterized Mulford's writing as "rooted in Victorian convention." Nevins also states that he originated the Western series that has continuous characters, and that, unlike the characters of most later Western series writers, his aged.

#Fact
1By the 1950s Mulford was no longer interested in writing any more Hopalong Cassidy novels. His publisher signed Louis L'Amour to write four books. After he signed, L'Amour found out the publisher wanted the William Boyd sanitized version of Cassidy instead of Mulford's rough-and-tumble version. L'Amour wrote the novels under the name "Tex Burns".
2For a while he had no interest in meeting William Boyd, due to his anger at Boyd's interpretation of the Cassidy character. However, Boyd was finally able to arrange a meeting. Breaking the ice by saying to Mulford, "How are ya doing, you son of a bitch?", the two did manage to hit it off and a truce and friendship of sorts developed between them.
3He was continually disappointed and often upset by the major changes made by William Boyd to his "Hop-Along Cassidy" character. He had always envisioned Cassidy as a rough-and-tumble, hard-drinking and combative man and once said words to the effect that if Cassidy of the movies (an upright teetotaler who always stuck to a code of chivalry at all times) had ever strayed into the novels, the novel Cassidy's sidekicks would have shot him.
4Died after surgery to repair smoke damage suffered in a fire in 1947.
