Ridgwell Cullum

    Ridgwell Cullum byl britský dobrodruh, který opustil Anglii v sedmnácti letech, aby se vydal za zlatem do Transvaalu. Poté se přesunul do Kapského Města, kde se připojil k lize dobrodruhů bojujících proti Búrům. Neschopen zůstat na místě, přeplul moře a usadil se v oblasti Yukonu v Kanadě, kde jen těsně unikl smrti hladem. Jeho pozdější život zahrnoval úspěšné rančerství v Montaně a údajnou účast na povstáních Siouxů. Cullumův styl je charakterizován jako plný živých popisů a napínavých zápletek s nadsazenými postavami, které si získaly širokou popularitu.
