The family moved to Manhattan, where Upton put himself through Columbia as a special student by writing boys' adventure stories for the pulp magazines under the names of "Lieutenant Frederick Garrison, U. S. A." and "Ensign Clarke Fitch, U. S. N." In 1900, when he was 22, he married Meta Fuller, whose father was a newspaperman, whose mother was an old friend of Mrs. Sinclair's.
