Among his father's many responsibilities was being a member of Congress and an attorney. A few years later, he divorced the first woman he married in 1919. Writing became his full-time profession in 1923 when he left journalism. He married his second wife, cartoonist Rebecca McCann, in 1927, the year Wolf Song was published, but she died of pneumonia two months later.
Career:
Harvey Fergusson’s screenwriting credits include “It Happened in Hollywood” (1937) and “Stand Up and Fight” (1939).
