Ernest Haycox
Ernest Haycox (1899–1950) was an American writer known for his realistic and historically rich Western fiction. Born in Portland, Oregon, he served in World War I before studying journalism at the University of Oregon.
Haycox became one of the most respected Western writers of his time, publishing over 300 short stories and numerous novels, often appearing in Collier’s and The Saturday Evening Post. His novel "Stagecoach" (originally "Stage to Lordsburg") inspired John Ford’s classic Western film.
Unlike many pulp Western writers, Haycox focused on historical accuracy, deep character development, and complex moral dilemmas, helping elevate the genre’s literary reputation.
