Arthur Murray "A.M." Chisholm (July 23, 1871 - January 24, 1960), also known as Bob Chisholm later in life,[5] was an author of Western fiction. He was the son of Daniel Black Chisholm and Cynthia Adelaide (Adeline) Davis.[6][7] He settled in Windermere, British Columbia in 1907, where he also served as government agent, coroner, police magistrate, and Justice of the Peace.[5]

Chisholm wrote many Western and Northern novels between 1906 and 1932,[8] which were released by several publishers in the US and by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK.[9] He was also a contributor to the pulp magazine The Popular Magazine for 20 years, until Street & Smith decided in 1930 to "cut out the old writers and get down to material of speedier, cheaper quality."[10]
