Career overview
Spearman was known for his books in the Western fiction genre, as well as his fiction and non-fiction books on railroads. Leading artists, such as N. C. Wyeth for Whispering Smith, were illustrative for the books.
Despite writing prolifically about railroads, his true work was in McCook, Nebraska, and he did not work for a railroad. Spearman converted Roman Catholic converts and held political views best described as proto-Libertarian, both of which views are also represented in his books.
Whispering Smith, the fictional hero of which was based on real-life Union Pacific Railroad detectives Timothy Keliher and Joe Lefors, was released on eight occasions, four silent films in 1916, 1917, 1926, and 1952, with later versions in 1930, 1935, 1948, and 1952. In 1961, there was also a television show.
The bulk of his books have been reprinted often. For example, the Paper Tiger press printed reprints in 1996, complete with the original illustrations.
