- Biography
- David Bryant Fulton (Thorne, Jack, pseud.) was a poet, journalist and novelist. Born in North Carolina in 1863, Fulton moved to New York in 1887, joining the Pullman Palace Car Company as a porter in 1888.
- In 1892 Fulton published a pamphlet entitled "Recollections of a Sleeping Car Porter," for which he used the pseudonym "Jack Thorne." He also authored a novel, "Hanover, or the Persecution of the Lowly" (1900) concerning violent racial conflict in the South in that period. Between 1903 and 1906, Fulton gained prominence in Brooklyn for his letters and articles in New York City newspapers. After 1907 Fulton wrote poetry, essays and short stories; most remained unpublished.
