Chisholm wrote many Western and Northern novels between 1906 and 1932, which were released by several publishers in the US and by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK.[7] He was also a contributor to the pulp magazine The Popular Magazine for 20 years, until Street & Smith decided in 1930 to "cut out the old writers and get down to material of speedier, cheaper quality."[8]
