Allan W. Eckert Knihy
30. január 1931 – 7. júl 2011
Allan W. Eckert bol americký historik, historický románopisec a prírodovedec. Jeho diela sa hlboko ponárajú do americkej histórie a prírodného sveta, často sa zameriavajú na stratené druhy a príbehy z hraničného obdobia. Eckertov jedinečný štýl pretkáva dokumentárnu presnosť s pútavým rozprávaním, čím čitateľom prináša živý obraz minulosti. Bol ocenený ako obľúbený ohijský spisovateľ všetkých čias, čo podčiarkuje jeho trvalý vplyv na literatúru a historické rozprávanie.

But they couldn't foresee the white men who would come later, men who loved the land as much as they did, who wanted it for their own. Men who learned the Indian tricks and matched brutality for brutality.
