Edgar Beecher Bronson (1856–1917) was a Nebraska rancher, a West Texas cattleman, an African big-game hunter, a serious photographer and starting late in life, an author of fiction and personal memoirs.

NO one will say that the life of Edgar Beecher Bronson was not packed with adventure. He began his out-of-doors and venturesome career as a western cowman, going into the cattle country from New York a very tender tenderfoot. Mr. Bronson's search for thrills led him to undertake many daring feats. The years of his young manhood—fifteen in all—were spent in New Mexico and Wyoming, as a ranchman, and it was during this time that he was able to collect the material for many of his books, the most popular of which probably is "'Reminiscences of a Ranchman." Like Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. Bronson was a sickly youth, and the years he spent in the saddle overcoming odds in the form of hostile Indians, rustlers, outlaws and blizzards and storms of the prairies, benefited him physically in the same way it did the former President.
