One of the great writers of that distinctly American genre, Western historical fiction, Henry Wilson Allen authored more than 50 novels. Despite the volume of work over a few decades, the writing was anything but formulaic. A few of his books were written under his own name, but he is far more known for his two pseudonyms, Will Henry and Clay Fisher. A relatively early novel written by Allen.
