HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.
Writer who inspired young Ronald Reagan
Signature: "Sincerely yours/Harold Bell Wright/Tuscon, Ariz/1928",
3½x2 card.Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944) was a 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. Lightly soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
