Though he occaisionally wrote for periodicals, after 1904, Fox dedicated much of his attention to fiction after serving as a war correspondent. The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come (published in 1903) and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (published in 1908) are arguably his most well known and successful works, entering the New York Times top ten list of bestselling novels for 1903, 1904, 1908, and 1909 respectfully. Many of his works reflected the naturalist style and his life growing up around the Cumberland Gap. Many of his novels were historical romances or period dramas set in that area.
