"Vardis Alvero Fisher March 31 1895 July 9 1968 was a writer best known for his popular historical novels of the Old West.Fisher was perhaps the most significant twentieth century novelist who was both a native and longtime resident of Idaho. He chafed at being compared with such better-known writers associated with the state as Ernest Hemingway and Ezra Pound. When appointed to head the Idaho branch of the Federal Writers Project under the WPA Fisher quipped that he had been chosen because there were only three writers in Idaho and he was the only one who was unemployed. Frederick Manfred who was among Fisher's staunchest literary champions declared that Dark Bridwell 1931 was Fisher's best novel and that Hemingway never wrote anything so good." from Wikipedia; Signed by Author .
