He wrote for the New York World, the newspaper Joseph Pulitzer, as the highest paid personnel reporter in the United States. Cobb also wrote more than 60 books and 300 stories. Some of his works were adapted for silent films. Several of his stories of Judge Priest were adapted in the 1930s for two feature films directed by John Ford. Cobb was the second of four children born to Kentucky natives in Paducah, Kentucky.His maternal grandfather, Reuben Saunders, MD, is credited with discovering in 1873 that hypodermic use of morphine - atropine stopped cholera. Cobb grew up in Paducah, and the events and people of his childhood became the basis of much of his later works. Later in life, Cobb was nicknamed "Duke of Paducah."
