J T Edson


(John Thomas Edson)
UK flag (1928 - 2014)

John Thomas Edson was born near the border of the County of Derbyshire, England, in a small mining village, Whitwell, where his relatives still live. He was obsessed with Westerns from an early age and often "rewrote" cowboy movies that he had seen at the cinema. One thing that always intrigued him was the minutiae - how did the baddie's gun jam? What were the mechanics of cheating at cards? How did Westerners really dress and speak? His writing was helped to develop by a schoolteacher who encouraged him.
