A quite prolific and popular writer in the 50's and 60's of western novels with the occasional mystery thrown in. Born and lived in the American West, he knew what he was writing about, and also wrote a history of the Wells Fargo company. His fictional works are often relegated to the pulp classification.

One of his books was adapted to the screen: Johnny Concho starring Frank Sinatra and other big names, by accounts a very interesting and unusual production.

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an expatriate American poet and critic who was a major figure of the early modernist movement. His contribution to poetry began with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and economy of language. His best-known works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920) and the unfinished 120-section epic, The Cantos (1917–69). wiki:
