Edison Tesla Marshall (August 28, 1894 – October 29, 1967) was an American short story writer and novelist.
Life
Marshall was born on August 28, 1894, in Rensselaer, Indiana. He grew up in Medford, Oregon, and attended the University of Oregon from 1913 to 1916. He served in the U.S. Army with the rank of second lieutenant. His 1917 World War I draft registration card indicated he was a "professional writer" employed by The American Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post, and that he was missing his thumb on his left hand.[1] He married Agnes Sharp Flythe; they had two children, Edison and Nancy.[2] In 1926, they moved to Augusta, Georgia.[3] Marshall mainly wrote historical fiction. He also wrote some science fiction about lost civilizations.[4]
For some of his work, he used the pseudonym Hall Hunter.[5][2]
His novel Benjamin Blake was adapted into a film in 1942, Son of Fury, starring Tyrone Power. Yankee Pasha-The Adventures of Jason Starbuck was adapted into the film Yankee Pasha, starring Jeff Chandler and Mamie Van Doren in 1954, as was The Vikings, starring Kirk Douglas, in 1958.[6][7][8][9][10]
He held the Gold Cross, Order of Merit from the University of Miami.[11]
A life-long hunter, he stalked big game in Canada, Alaska, Africa, Indo-China, and India.[4] A high school hunting accident cost him his thumb. He described his hunting experiences in The Heart of the Hunter, copyrighted in 1956.
He died on October 29, 1967, in Augusta, Georgia.
