From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugene Cunningham (1896–1957) was an American writer of western, mystery, and sea stories. [1]

Eugene Cunningham was born on November 29, 1896, in Helena, Arkansas. [2] However, he was for many years a resident of El Paso, and folks there often assumed he was a native Texan. [2] He moved at some point to California, and died at his home in San Francisco on October 18, 1957, aged 60. [1]

He penned a number of Western novels, including Riders of the Night, Buckaroo, and Diamond River Man. [2] In non-fiction, Triggernometry examined the gunfighters of the Wild West. [2]
