Ernest Haycox, who has been
called America's top-notch Western writer, serializes regularly in Collier's, Adventure, and The Saturday

own at eleven, he sold papers, bell-hopped, wandered the sage county, trucked
burlap, fished in Alaska, served time as a peanut butcher on railroads, and at seventeen
was a sergeant in France drilling rookies in World War I. He brought a platoon
of New York Italians back to Camp Dix. and fourteen of than were going to “bust
him all up," but they were so glad to get discharged that they forgot
about it and actually shook his hand on leaving. He now lives in Portland,
Oregon.
