Covelle Newcomb

Covelle Newcomb (1908 - ) wrote children’s books on historical figures. He (or indeed she - I’m not sure) specialised in American history once it became influenced by Europeans. Titles included works on Christopher Columbus and Cortez. As far as I can see, the author wrote just the one horse book, Silver Saddles, a ranch-based story.

Finding the books: the paperback versions are easy to find, and generally not expensive. Hardbacks are a bit more pricey, and very good first editions are expensive. The book was not published in the UK.
