Andy Adams

    3. máj 1859 – 26. september 1935

    Andy Adams vynikal v písaní realistických westernov, ktoré čerpali z jeho vlastných desaťročí skúseností s poháňaním dobytka v Texase. Namiesto romantických dobrodružstiev sa Adams zameral na dôkladnú presnosť a vernosť skutočnosti. Jeho cieľom bolo, aby jeho fikcia bola na nerozoznanie od faktov, čo z jeho diel robí neoceniteľný zdroj pre historikov aj spisovateľov, ktorí chcú pochopiť život kovbojov na otvorených pláňach. Jeho prozaický štýl, možno pre moderného čitateľa trochu mdlý, odráža nekompromisnú oddanosť autenticite.
