A writer who knew Western country
William MacLeod Raine was born in England in 1871 and grew up in the United States. He came to know the American West firsthand and spent much of his working life in Denver, Colorado. That closeness to the region shows in the many Westerns he wrote over several decades.
His books lean on ranches, range land, small towns and long rides between them. Readers of his day knew him as a steady producer of clean, well-paced adventure. He wrote for people who wanted action, a clear plot and a hero they could trust.
