Historical NoteReturn to Top
Llewellyn (Lew) P. Holmes (1895-1988) was born in a log cabin at Breckenridge, Colorado, atop the Rocky Mountains. After graduating high school, Holmes began to write for pulp magazines and was a major contributor for Leo Margulies' line of pulp publications. Beginning in the 1950s he concentrated on writing western fiction and moved away from pulp writing. Holmes wrote westerns under his own name and the pseudonyms Matt Stuart, Dave Hardin and Perry Westwood. He was managed by the Lenniger Literary Agency.
