Will Levington Comfort, an american writer, known primarily for adventure novels such as Apache. Several of his novels were made into film, including Somewhere south of Sonora, starring John Wayne. He was also a serious writer, and his book Routledge Rides Alone,a pacifist manifesto in the form of a beautiful novel, was the BEST BOOK on 1910. He also wrote about theosophical subjects.

His name was Sanford Hantee, but you will hear that only occasionally, for the boys of the back streets called him Skag, which "got" him somewhere at once. That was in Chicago. He was eleven years old, when he wandered quite alone to Lincoln Park Zoo, and the madness took him.
