Steve Frazee, né le 28 septembre 1909 à Salida dans le Colorado et mort en 1992, est un écrivain et un scénariste américain, auteur de roman policier et de roman western.

Biography

Entrepreneur, spécialiste de la construction et de l'extraction de minerai, il travaille dans ce secteur avant et pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Après la guerre, il devient inspecteur en construction à Salida, sa ville natale.

Après la publication d'une première nouvelle dans le pulp Short Stories en décembre 1936, il faut attendre juillet 1947 pour la parution d'une seconde histoire. À partir de janvier 1948, il fait paraître à un rythme très soutenu une soixantaine de nouvelles appartenant presque toutes au genre du western. L'une de ses dernières nouvelles, intitulée En bonne et due forme (All Legal and Proper), obtient en 1961 le Western Heritage Award.

En parallèle, il se lance dans le roman dès 1953 avec la publication de Shining Mountains. La plupart de ses romans sont également des westerns, notamment La Loi du jupon (A Gun for Brag’s Woman), une « passionnante histoire, bien éloignée des chevauchées et des fusillades des westerns traditionnels », selon Claude Mesplède, et La Piste des Cherokees (Many Rivers to Cross), novélisation du scénario de L'Aventure fantastique. Il a aussi collaboré à Lassie, la célèbre série de littérature d'enfance et de jeunesse.

En 1955 et 1956, il est président de la Western Writers of America et le vice-président en 1962 et 1963.

With the ruthless bandit McCracken (Gene Evans) and his men in relentless pursuit, they hide the gold behind a giant boulder. Shaun is wounded, but Doc Gates (Chill Wills) shows up out of nowhere and patches him up and is made a full partner. They take refuge at the ranch of Amos Gondora, an old friend of Jim's. There they are introduced to Gondora's so-called "ward," an Indian maiden called Tita (Leticia Roman). That night some of McCracken's men stage a stampede and draw Jim and Gondora away. While they are gone, McCracken and some men ride up and takes Shaun and Doc captive. He kills Doc because he is unable to tell the hiding place of the gold.
