The Lame Coyote's Lone War

by Charles Michelson, Dan Smith (Illustrator)

Overview

It had been a very successful raid for such a short one. There was not a ranchhouse down the San Gabriel valley that was not a smoking ruin, and the ranchmen, their wives and children, had been done to death in all manner of grotesque ways. It was really a fine raid, one to brag about to the old men who had not gone out that spring because the first freshet had come at the full of the moon, an omen not to be lightly disregarded.

About the Author

Charles Michelson (1869–1948) was a journalist editor, and political publicist. Born in Virginia City, Nevada, he ran away from home when he was 13. He worked many jobs, such as sheepherder, miner, and teamster, before gaining his first journalist post with the Virginia City Chronicle. He later worked for San Francisco newspapers, before going to Cuba as a correspondent for Hearst's New York Journal in 1896.

After the war, Michelson worked for several other newspapers. In 1929 he was hired by the Democratic National Committee as the first full-time publicity director.

Michelson retired in 1942, returning briefly as associate director of publicity in 1944. He wrote his memoirs, The Ghost Talks (1944).
