Description
After five years of unsuccessful prospecting, he turned to writing. His
second novel The Spoilers (1906) was based on a true story of corrupt
government officials stealing gold mines from prospectors, which he
witnessed while he was prospecting in Nome, Alaska. The Spoilers became
one of the best selling novels of 1906. His adventure novels, influenced
by Jack London, were immensely popular throughout the early 1900s. Beach
was lionized as the "Victor Hugo of the North," but others found his
novels formulaic and predictable. Critics described them as cut from the
"he-man school" of literature. Historian Stephen Haycox has said that
many of Beach's works are "mercifully forgotten today." One novel, The
Silver Horde (1909), is set in Kalvik, a fictionalized community in
Bristol Bay, Alaska, and tells the story of a down on his luck gold
miner who discovers a greater wealth in Alaska's run of salmon (silver
horde) and decides to open a cannery. To accomplish this he must
overcome the relentless opposition of the "salmon trust," a
fictionalized Alaska Packers' Association, which undercuts his
financing, sabotages his equipment, incites a longshoremen's riot and
bribes his fishermen to quit. The story line includes a love interest as
the protagonist is forced to choose between his fiancée, a spoiled
banker's daughter, and an earnest roadhouse operator, a woman of
"questionable virtue." Real-life cannery superintendent Crescent Porter
Hale has been credited with being the inspiration for The Silver Horde,
but it is unlikely Beach and Hale ever met. After success in literature,
many of his works were adapted into successful films; The Spoilers
became a stage play, then was remade into movies five times from 1914 to
1955, with Gary Cooper and John Wayne each playing "Roy Glennister" in
1930 and 1942, respectively. The Silver Horde was twice made into a
movie, as a silent film in 1920 starring Myrtle Stedman, Curtis Cooksey
and Betty Blythe and directed by Frank Lloyd; and a talkie version The
Silver Horde (1930) that starred Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea, and Evelyn
Brent and was directed by George Archainbaud. Beach occasionally
produced his films and also wrote a number of plays to varying success.
