Historical Note

Borden Chase was born Frank Fowler in 1900. In his early writing career, he wrote short stories that were published in Argosy, Liberty, The Saturday Evening Post, and many pulp magazines. He then began to write screenplays for both motion pictures and television. His writing credits include "Red River", "Winchester '73", and "The Far Country". Chase was anti-communist, and he spearheaded a group of leaders from the talent guilds and labor unions called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. Chase died in Los Angeles in 1971.
