Eustace Cockrell was best known as a television writer who wrote many of the early westerns while under contract with Warner Brothers. This volume includes the author's unpublished works.
Eustace Cockrell was a pioneer television writer who contributed to many of the early western shows, including Sugarfoot, Man Without a Gun, and Cheyenne. He also wrote for such high-profile television programs as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the Loretta Young Show, and Naked City. Cockrell was a master of the short story prior to his Hollywood career, however. Over a 25-year period beginning in 1932, his works appeared regularly in pulp fiction magazines such as Blue Book and Argosy as well as in "slicks" like Colliers, Saturday Evening Post, and Cosmopolitan. Now these stories have been collected in a five-volume set edited by Roger Coleman, Cockrell's son-in-law. Coleman, also a writer, is married to Cockrell's daughter, Elizabeth.
