SOME HISTORY ON GEORGE PATTULLO:
PATTULLO, GEORGE R.
(1879–1967). George R. Pattullo, writer and news correspondent, was born on October 9, 1879, in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, the son of George Robson and Mary (Rounds) Pattullo. He attended Woodstock Collegiate Institute and engaged in newspaper work in Montreal, London, and Boston. In the summer of 1908 he left his job as Sunday editor of the Boston
Herald
and traveled west with Texas cowboy photographer
Erwin E. Smith.
For the next several years they rode and worked together through western Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, Smith producing photographs
and
Pattullo writing western stories that appeared in several popular magazines, including the
SATURDAY EVENING POST
and
McCLURE'S
On November 5, 1913, Pattullo married Lucile Wilson, daughter of an early Dallas business leader, J. B. Wilson. The Pattullos made their home in Dallas for a short time before Pattullo became a special correspondent for the
Saturday Evening Post
with the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. Thereafter he lived mainly in New York and continued writing western fiction. He frequently visited Dallas, where he had extensive business and social interests. He was a member of the Players and Union clubs in New York and of the Old Guard Club of Palm Beach, Florida. Some of his books were
The Untamed
(1911),
A Good Rooster Crows Everywhere
(1939),
All Our Yesterdays
(1948), and
Some Men in Their Time
(1959). He died in New York City on July 29, 1967, and was buried at Hillcrest Mausoleum, Dallas.
