Here, he picked up the colloquialism of that region which is expressed in his novella, “Reno.” After high school, he matriculated at Ohio State University where he became a professional musician. Awhile later he became a songwriter and actor in the Midwest and eventually in Hollywood. In California he became interested in Indian history as reflected in the short story “El Amor Inmortal.”
