His first major success, a collection of short stories, reflects the struggles and resilience of rural life. Notably, he also explored historical themes through a biography of Ulysses S. Grant and was inspired by the Klondike Gold Rush for another work. His writings often blend personal experience with broader social themes, showcasing the challenges faced by hardworking individuals in early 20th-century America.
