Ralph Cotton
Ralph W. Cotton, one of today's most popular western authors, claims his success as a story-teller is due in part to his background in, among other things, construction, ironwork and as a commercial seaman.
A number of his books made Ingram's top fifty list for westerns and the USA Today Bestseller List. With several novels now in print, Cotton's work has been hailed by critics and likened to such literary notables as: Jack London, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Steinbeck and Twain.
