Richard Henry Savage (June 12, 1846 – October 11, 1903) was an American military officer and author who wrote more than 40 books of adventure and mystery, based loosely on his own experiences. Savage's life was the inspiration for two pulp novel characters, the Avenger and Doc Savage. The latter got the family name while the Avenger, Richard Henry Benson, got his personal names, his varied background, and his wife and daughter. Read more on Wikipedia
