The earliest Dan Fowler tales were credited to C. K. M. Scanlon. This was a house name, a practice used by nearly every Pulp Publisher, creating a name that several authors would write stories under, usually attached to a singular series. The author who penned the most Fowler adventures under the Scanlon moniker was George Fielding Eliot.
Born in Brooklyn, Eliot began a life of adventure early on when he moved with his family to Australia at age eight. He joined the infantry at the outset of World War One and took part in the operations at Gallipoli. After moving to the European battlefield in 1916, Eliot found himself at several well known battles, including the Somme and Arras. Eliot left the army behind at war’s end for a different form of service and left Europe from Canada, where he became a Mountie before moving to the States and joining the U.S. Army Reserve in intelligence, left the Reserve as a major in 1933, already preparing to work in a different capacity in the approaching World War II, as a writer and speaker.
It was during this time that Eliot made much of his living writing stories for pulp magazines and crime novels while also working on essays regarding war, past and future. It is no doubt that when it came time to find someone to pen the initial adventures of the greatest G-Man in pulp magazines that Eliot was likely the first choice.
