(1918-1944)
   US writer. A nephew of Farnsworth WRIGHT, he published almost entirely for the ZIFF-DAVIS magazines AMAZING STORIES and Fantastic Adventures from early 1940; there were about 40 stories and novels underhis own name plus others under various pseudonyms, including John York Cabot (the Sergeant Shane series and about 20 further tales), BruceDennis, Duncan Farnsworth (19 stories), Richard Vardon and the house names Alexander BLADE and Clee GARSON; nothing reached book form.
