Who it's for

About the author
Charles Alden Seltzer (1875–1942) was an American writer of Western fiction, born in Janesville, Wisconsin, and died in Cleveland, Ohio. In his early years he drifted through various jobs and kept writing for more than a decade before getting published. Over his lifetime he wrote about forty Western novels and a large number of short stories. Set mostly on the Western frontier, his works are tightly plotted and action-driven; representative titles include The Two-Gun Man, The Trail to Yesterday, and The Range Boss, and several were adapted into films. The library holds ten of his works, commonly classified under inspirational growth. In his later years he served as mayor of North Olmsted, Ohio.
