Two Books by William Hopson
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.4Mb
Overview: William Lee Hopson (1907 - 1975) was primarily a Western author. He was sometimes published under the name William L. Hopson and used a pseudonym, John Sims, for at least four Western novels.
After joining the U.S. Marines, Hopson served as a weapons instructor during World War II. Afterwards, he had various jobs as a coyote hunter and trick flyer. At the same time, he wrote crime novels and Western stories for pulp magazines between 1938 and 1958, as well as several novels, some of which were reworkings of previous short stories.
At a presentation in a newspaper in 1954, Hopson said he began by determining the background and reading in on time and place, and then sketching out his main character to give him a problem to solve. When this was done, he believed that the book was basically writing itself. Hopson's publishers wanted nine books a year, but Hopson got it down to six and was happy if it was four or five annually.
After living family life in Arizona for eight years in the 1950s, Hopson moved to California, where he lived until his death in 1975.

A Gunman Rode North (1954)
Kerrigan probably should have been satisfied with being free for the first time in two years - but he wasn't. To be freed in the custody of Colonel Tom Harrow was tantamount to being in prison. His every move would be watched - Harrow's paid gunmen would see to that - and pressure would be put on Kerrigan to reveal the whereabouts of the rich gold strike like that at now-abandoned Dalyville. Lew Kerrigan had been framed to life imprisonment in the territorial prison at Yuma, not because he had killed Buck Havers over his attentions to blonde Kitty Anderson, but because Harrow had wanted the gold claim of Lew's friend, "Bear Paw" Daly. Now Harrow was confident that the Indian Kadoba, Lew's cellmate in an Arizona dungeon these past two years, knew the source of the gold that "Loco" and his Apache band continued to bring in in exchange for Harrow's smuggled guns. As soon as he could find out what Kerrigan had learned from Kadoba, Lew would be killed. How Lew, with the help of Kadoba, outwits "Colonel" Harrow on his gamble for gold and power - and saves the spirited Carlotta Wilkerson from becoming Harrow's wife - is the story of this dramatic Western novel by the author of "The Last Apaches."
