Allan W. Eckert byl americký historik, historický romanopisec a přírodovědec. Jeho díla se hluboce zabývají americkou historií a přírodním světem, často se soustředí na ztracené druhy a hraniční příběhy. Eckertův jedinečný styl proplétá dokumentární přesnost s působivým vyprávěním, což čtenářům přináší živý obraz minulosti. Byl oceněn jako oblíbený ohijský spisovatel všech dob, což podtrhuje jeho trvalý vliv na literaturu a historické vyprávění.

Men who learned the Indian tricks and matched brutality for brutality.
