Ernest Haycox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest James Haycox (October 1, 1899 in Portland, Oregon – October 13, 1950), was an American writer of Western fiction. He published many novels and several hundred short stories. Many appeared first in pulp magazines in the early 1920s. During the 1930's and 40's, he was a regular contributor to Collier's Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post. Fans of his work included Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, who wrote: "I read the Saturday Evening Post whenever it has a serial by Ernest Haycox."[1] His story, "Stage to Lordsburg" (1937), was made into the movie Stagecoach (1939) by John Ford, which stars Claire Trevor and John Wayne in the role which made him a star. Another story was the basis for the movie Union Pacific (1939) by Cecil B. DeMille, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea. He wrote the screenplay for the movie Montana (1950) directed by Ray Enright, which stars Alexis Smith and Errol Flynn. The Western Writers of America named Haycox as one of the 24 best Western authors of the Twentienth Century.
