Walt Mason (May 4, 1862 – June 22, 1939)[1] was a Canadian-born American journalist and writer, whose daily column was syndicated by George Matthew Adams in over 200 US and Canadian newspapers during the early part of the 20th Century.[2]
He was called "the poet laureate of common sense",[3] and the "Homer of modern America",[1] but referred to himself as "the Fat One".[4] His columns were collected into eight books of "prose poems" between 1910 and 1919, for which admirers such as Theodore Dreiser, James Whitcomb Riley, William Dean Howells, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Ade, and Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote laudatory testimonials.[5]
