Francis Bret Harte (1836 - 1902) was an American short-story writer, poet, and humorist. Best remembered for his stories fiction stories concerning the California Gold Rush, featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures. He helped create the American local-colour writing style, which attempted to better represent the particularities of a place and its inhabitants through elements such as dialect, landscape, and folklore. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction.
Willa Cather (1873-1947) was born in Virginia and raised on the Nebraska prairie. She worked as a newspaper writer, teacher, and managing editor of McClure's magazine.

Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936), est né et a vécu au Texas.
Il a publié sa première histoire à 19 ans dans la revue Weird Tales (qui publia les auteurs mythiques de l'âge d'or, dont Lovecraft). Après quelques années difficiles, sa carrière démarra en 1928 avec la parution des récits de Solomon Kane, suivis par de nombreuses nouvelles dans des genres aussi divers que la Fantasy, l'horreur, l'histoire, le western ou la boxe.
Mais c'est Conan, créé en 1932, qui lui vaudra la postérité littéraire. Ce héros, ainsi que la puissance évocatrice de l'écriture de son auteur, a eu et a toujours une influence majeure, au moins égale à celle de Tolkien, sur la Fantasy et partant sur tout l'imaginaire occidental.
