A History of Laurie York Erskine's Canadian Mountie Franchise
#SYNOPSIS: Little did Laurie York Erskine know back in 1921, when he
created Renfrew of the Mounted, a dramatic series depicting a fictional
Canadian Mountie, that the franchise would inspire imitation. The cry
known as the Renfrew call —which children all over America
imitated heard daily on the long-running radio program —echoed
through city streets and alleys. The creation of Laurie York Erskine was
first published in short story form in 1921, followed by the first of ten
novels in 1922, making a transition to radio in 1936, followed by a series
of motion-pictures one year later. By 1938, numerous motion-picture
producers disregarded their present-day cowboy westerns to try their
hand at producing Canadian Mountie adventures. Few are aware that the
Renfrew novels were written and published partly out of necessity
Erskine donated the profits from his handiwork to the funding of a
private boys’school. The school needed what money Erskine
could raise so he doubled both as a teacher by day and author by night.
Yet, the popularity of Canadian Mountie motion-pictures and radio
programs waned by the time America entered the war. Erskine, a veteran
of World War I, departed for Hawaii to aid the war cause and educate new
flyers in the skill of aerial combat. Upon his return he discovered that the
radio networks had little interest in reviving the Canadian Mountie
program. Erskine would spend his remaining years teaching at Solebury
School and trying to make ends meet. This book documents the entire
history of Renfrew of the Mounted, including the short stories, novels,
eight motion-pictures, 1950s television pilot, and an episode guide from
the long running radio program. Also included are never-before-
published photographs and reprints of the unpublished Renfrew of the
Mounted newspaper strip.
