Western Fiction Authors
A list of western fiction authors with writers who specialize in all types of western historical fiction and tales of the American frontier. If cowboys, indians (native americans), gold miners, and outlaws are your favorite types of characters, then you're a western fiction fan. Remember though that "the frontier" is a relative term. The earliest westerns took place in the Appalachian mountains as that was once considered the great western unknown. It wasn't until later, the 1850's and beyond, that westerns began to take place west of the Mississippi River. Many consider the golden age of the historic west to have occurred for only three decades, from the end of the civil war to the beginning of the 20th century. Western fiction peaked during the 1960's, but can still be found to this day. The western fiction authors on this list are some of the best.
