His story "The Voyage That Lasted Six Hundred Years" (1940) was his enduring. Don wrote mostly for "Amazing Stories" and "Fantastic Adventures" and is the last of his generation of writers whose work has not been substantially reprinted. He died at age 95 in 2000 in his hometown of Lucas, Kansas.captaineighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858543871891163994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456211.post-28999354196063612422011-04-25T19:20:34.176-07:002011-04-25T19:20:34.176-07:00I agree with you.

It is rare to find an author I have never heard of let alone one who has written this much.<br /><br />From the comments on the Sony Reader Store site, it sounds like he was very popular in the 40s and early 50s. He does not appear to be reprinted in later years.Jim Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768774128257259384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456211.post-63898460223735240322011-04-25T11:47:00.627-07:002011-04-25T11:47:00.627-07:00that's a fairly extensive list of publications...that's a fairly extensive list of publications for somebody i've never heard of previously. thanks, jim.adamosfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388012371752166422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456211.post-88771316363378696792011-04-24T19:00:14.121-07:002011-04-24T19:00:14.121-07:00Don's name does show up in ISFDB(http://www.is...Don's name does show up in ISFDB(http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?872).<br /><br />I have not read any of his work.
