The Coming of Hopalong Cassidy tells the story of when Bill "Hopalong" Cassidy became a man in the west to be reckoned with. At the beginning of the book, Hopalong is probably younger than 21 years, but is equipped with a man's body. He first travels alone, a youth undeterred by the perils of the West, before singing up for what became long-term employment with the Bar-20 Ranch. The book was first published around 1908, long before the world came to know "Hoppy" on TV in the 1950s, or in comic books around the same time.
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. 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.
