Rex Beach

    Rex Beach, prezývaný „Viktor Hugo Severu“, písal dobrodružné romány o Aljaške, ktoré boli na začiatku 20. storočia nesmierne populárne. Jeho príbehy, často inšpirované skutočnými udalosťami z čias zlatej horúčky, sa sústredia na statočných mužov čeliacich korupcii a prírodným živlom. Beachov štýl bol charakterizovaný ako „škola drsných chlapov“, kde silní muži páchajú silné činy. Hoci jeho diela často vykazovali formulu a predvídateľnosť, mnohé z nich boli úspešne adaptované do filmov.
