Biographical Note
Willis Todhunter Ballard was born on December 13, 1903 in Cleveland, Ohio.
He attended schools in Cleveland and Westtown, Pennsylvania and, in 1926, graduated
from Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio. Right after college he began working for
his father’s company, F. W. Ballard Company, as an engineer constructing power plants
and transmission lines. He stayed there for two years.
His transition to a career as a professional writer began with the editorship
of an electrical trade magazine. His first published story, “Gambler’s Luck,”
appeared in Brief Stories in 1927. Ballard was a prolific writer and went on to
write over a thousand stories for magazines such as Saturday Evening Post , Collier’s,
Argosy , McCall’s , Esquire ,
and Liberty . He also wrote stories for pulp magazines such
as Black Mask , Brief Stories ,
Dime Mystery , Popular Western ,
and Ranch Romances . Ballard wrote about fifty televison and
movie scripts including The Outcast for Republic Pictures.
Some television series he wrote for were “Cowboy G-Men,” “Death Valley Days,”
“Shotgun Slade,” “Shannon,” and “Alias Smith and Jones.”
Ballard’s main interests as a writer were in the mystery and western genres.
He wrote over seventy books under such pseudonyms as Brian Agar, P. D. Ballard,
Todhunter Ballard, W. T. Ballard, Parker Bonner, Hunter D’Allard, Harrison Hunt,
Tod Hunt, John Hunter, Neil MacNeil, John Shepherd, and others. Ballard wrote as
part of a pool of writers hired by publisher Tower Books to write stories using
the pseudonym of Jack Slade.
Ballard was an active member of the Western Writes of America. He served on
the applications committee and also won their “Spur Award” in 1965 for Gold in
California (Doubleday, 1965) as “best historical novel.”
After a long, successful career as a writer, Mr. Ballard died on December 27,
1980 in Mount Dora, Florida at the age of 77.
Content Description
The Todhunter Ballard Papers consist of professional correspondence
from 1947 to 1972, publication records, papers of Western Writers of America (WWA)
documenting his activity in that organization, and manuscripts of 70 books,
17 teleplays, one screenplay, and a few magazine articles. There are also 127
books which are largely paperback foreign additions.
The correspondence section is arranged chronologically and contains business
correspondence between Ballard and various publishers, agents and lawyers
including Doubleday, MacMillian, Houghton-Mifflin, Fawcett, Lenniger Literary
Agency, Gordon Molson Associates and H. N. Sawnson Agency.
Following the correspondence are ledger sheets containing the publication
history of 51 of Ballard’s stories. They are filed numerically according to the
number assigned to each story. The publication histories contain information
about publisher, contract dates, domestic and foreign rights, publication dates
and sales volume. Some related correspondence is also included.
The Western Writers of America material consists of correspondence arranged
chronologically from 1960-1974, and applications for entry into the WWA with
related correspondence. The applications are arranged alphabetically. A miscellaneous
folder contains membership lists, the WWA Constitution and miscellaneous issues of
Roundup, the WWA’s monthly newsletter.
The various sections of the manuscript series are arranged alphabetically by
title of the work. In the book manuscript section some of the manuscripts listed
under one title can also be found in the section under another alternate title,
as indicated by an asterisk.*
The last box in the collection contains ten bound volumes of tearsheets of pulp
magazines stories written by Ballard. Several indexes are included. Wrapped in a
separate package is a scrapbook of book reviews and a few photographs of Ballard.
Filed with it is a folder of loose material removed from the scrapbook. It contains
documents relating to Ballard’s wartime service from 1942-1945 as a civilian connected
with a production control staff at Write Patterson Field, Ohio. Loose photographs (3)
of Ballard have been removed to the Photograph Collection in order to be stored
properly.
