D.B. Newton<\/figcaption><\/figure>Fictioneer Dwight Bennett Newton<\/strong> died June 30, 2013. He was 97.<\/p>\n

Newton wrote western fiction starting in the pulps, including Lariat Story Magazine<\/em>, 5 Western Novels Magazine<\/em>, .44 Western Magazine<\/em> and New Western Magazine<\/em>. He wrote under the bylines D.B. Newton or Dwight Bennett.<\/p>\n

In a 2008 interview with The Bulletin<\/a><\/em>, in Bend, Ore., Newton, then 92, recalled a Saturday morning in May 1938:<\/p>\n

I remember I was sitting there and here comes a little envelope from Newsstand Publications. I set it aside and had my breakfast, because I wasn\u2019t going to eat any more if it was what I thought it was. But it was a check for $60, to D.B. Newton, for a 12,000-word novel. The letter said it was due out in Western Novels and Short Stories<\/span>, and I went up to the drug store, and there it was, on the newsstand: My story. And that was the biggest day of my life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That first story was “Brand of the Hunted.” He went on to write more than 70 novels, including “Crooked River Canyon,” “Guns of the Rimrock” and “Oregon Rifles.”<\/p>\n

Newton also spent about three years writing scripts for TV westerns, including “Wagon Train,” “Cimarron City,” “Tales of Wells Fargo” and “Shotgun Slade.”<\/p>\n
