Books Written By William T.
Hornaday
Compiled by David L.
Eby
According to
one reliable source, William T. Hornaday was the author of 26 books during
his lifetime. They were widely read and made him very famous. There are
sources on the Internet that claim he wrote over 100 books but that seems to
be a gross overstatement based on information from the Library of Congress.
Some Hornaday books had many reprints.

the Dudley York pseudonym, was a book or an article.
