HAROLD M. SHERMAN
Harold Morrow Sherman was born on July 13, 1898, in Traverse City, Michigan. He studied at the University of Michigan for a short amount of time, then moved to Detroit to work for the Ford Motor Company. He married Martha Bain on September 26, 1920, and had two daughters: Mary and Marcia.
In 1921, Harold worked as a reporter for The Marion Chronicle in Indiana. He moved to New York City in 1924 to write several popular boys' sports and adventure books (notably the Tahara series) and to produce two plays on Broadway.
The Sherman family spent the 1950s and early 1960s in Hollywood, writing for television and lecturing on his most recent work.
He died on August 19, 1987.
