Roger Sherman Hoar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Sherman Hoar (April 8, 1887-1963) was a former state senator and assistant Attorney General, state of Massachusetts.
[edit] OVERVIEW
Hoar was also a member of the Commission to Compile Information & Data, 1917, and an organizer and major force behind the enactment of the Employee Unemployment Benefits. He was also a prolific fiction writer, but under the pen name of Ralph Milne Farley. According to Ziff Davis critic John Simon "...he was a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and an interesting individual in his own right: teacher of mathematics and engineering, inventor of a system for aiming large guns by the stars, Massachusetts state senator, and author of works on constitutional and patent law.
As Farley, he wrote not only Burroughsian interplanetary and inner-world yarns but also a number of archetypal time-travel-paradox stories, and seems to have been directly responsible for Ziff-Davis’ hiring Raymond A. Palmer in 1938 to edit Amazing Stories. Judging from Hoar’s signature on the Argosy letter, he was less protective of his pseudonym than, say, Clark Kent is of his." —SU
His was the son of Sherman Hoar, grandson of former US Attorney General Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, great-grandson of Samuel Hoar, and the great-great grandson of American founding father Roger Sherman.
