George Harvey Ralphson was a collective pen name used by multiple ghost writers of juvenile adventure books working for M.A. Donohue & Company in the early 20th century. According to the Los Angeles Times [1] and the New York Times,[2] several of the books credited to Ralphson may have been written by J. Frank Honeywell. The best-known works credited to Ralphson were the "Boy Scout" series of adventures. Several sources have erroneously reported that he was a real person.
