Allan W. Eckert è stato uno storico, romanziere storico e naturalista americano. Le sue opere approfondiscono la storia americana e il mondo naturale, concentrandosi spesso su specie perdute e narrazioni di frontiera. Lo stile distintivo di Eckert intreccia l'accuratezza fattuale con una narrazione avvincente, portando il passato vividamente alla vita per i lettori. Onorato come lo scrittore dell'Ohio preferito di tutti i tempi, il suo impatto duraturo sulla letteratura e sul racconto storico è innegabile.
