Rex Beach (1877-1949) was an American novelist and playwright. He
was born in to a prominent family and pursued a career as a lawyer
before being drawn to Alaska at the time of the Klondike Gold Rush.
After five years of unsuccessful prospecting, he turned to writing.
His first novel, The Spoilers was based on a true story of corrupt
government officials stealing gold mines from prospectors, which he
witnessed while he was prospecting in Nome, Alaska. The Spoilers
became one of the best selling novels of 1906. His adventure novels
were immensely popular throughout the early 1900s.
