He once described himself as "the best second-rate writer in America". Although largely forgotten now, Kelland had a long career as a writer of fiction and short stories, stretching from 1913 to 1960. He was published in many magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post and The American Magazine. A prolific writer, his output included sixty novels and some two hundred short stories. His best known juvenile works were the Mark Tidd series and the Catty Atkins series, while his best known adult work was the Scattergood Baines series. Other notable adult books by Kelland include Conflict (1920) , Rhoda Fair (1925) , Hard Money (1930) , Arizona (1939) , and Dangerous Angel (1953). Kelland was the "literary idol" of the teenaged John O'Hara. He was referred to in a 1995 installment of Harlan Ellison's television commentary, Harlan Ellison's Watching for the program Sci-Fi Buzz, wherein Ellison laments what he perceives as a prevailing cultural illiteracy."

A Young Volunteer with Old Hickory

New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1929. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. Illustrated by Leslie Crump. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Good condition and is lacking the dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. There is some edge wear, rubbing and spots of fraying and small edge tears to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The book covers have noticeable ground-in dirt and fingermarks. There is one small spot of white discoloration on the front cover. The text pages are mostly clean and bright, with occasional spots of foxing and fingermarks. This story, by author Knapp (best known for a science fiction story similar to Planet of the Apes) gives a fictionalized history of Andrew Jackson's campaigns against the Cree Indians. "The Creek War took place largely in modern-day Alabama and along the Gulf Coast. Major engagements of the war involved the United States military and the Red Sticks (or Upper Creeks) , a Muscogee tribal faction who resisted U. S. Colonial expansion. The United States formed an alliance with the traditional enemies of the Muscogee, the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations, as well as the Lower Creeks faction of the Muscogee. During the hostilities, the Red Sticks allied themselves to the British. A Red Stick force aided British Naval Officer Alexander Cochrane's advance towards New Orleans. The Creek War effectively ended in August 1814 with the signing of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, when Andrew Jackson forced the Creek confederacy to surrender more than 21 million acres in what is now southern Georgia and central Alabama."
