largely self-educated novelist who became the first American writer to earn over
$1 million from his books alone. His most popular books, The Shepherd
of the Hills (1907) and The Winning of Barbara Worth (1911), were
among seven of his novels turned into films. Previously a minister, Wright
attacked established churches in his books but promoted what he called "clean
living." In a letter from the White House to Wright's daughter in law in
1984, President Reagan stated that as a youth he asked to be baptized after
reading a published collection of Wright's sermons. Wright was also an early
advocate of channeling the Colorado River to irrigate California's then
desert-like Imperial Valley. Mounting sheet is irregularly cut, with mounting
adhesive at lower right. Signature card is in fine condition.
