Reginald Charles Barker (15 May, 1881 – 20 October, 1937) was a British-born American novelist. He wrote mainly Western stories, and was published in Blue Book, Western Story Magazine, and Complete Stories, among others. Barker sometimes wrote under the pen-name Lee Harrington. Born and raised in England, Barker came to America in 1900 and became a naturalized citizen in 1923. In 1911, he married Edith Granger, who was from Idaho, and they subsequently had three children, one of whom predeceased Barker. [1]
His story Chuck of the Bar V was adapted into the 1924 film Biff Bang Buddy.[2]
