Margarete Lenk war Verfasserin von zahlreichen Erzählungen für Kinder und Jugendliche. Während sie anfangs in ihren Werken Erfahrungen aus ihren Jahren in Amerika verarbeitete, schrieb sie später von tiefer Frömmigkeit geprägte historische Erzählungen, die häufig in der Zeit der Reformation und des Dreißigjährigen Krieges spielen. Einige ihrer Werke wurden ins Englische und Schwedische übersetzt. *Lenk, Frau Pastor Margarethe, Grün bei Lengenfeld, Voigtland, ist geboren den 29. August 1841 in Leipzig; ( † 31. Oktober 1917 in Dresden), wo ihr Vater, Julius Ludwig Klee, Lehrer am Gymnasium war. 1849 wurde derselbe nach Dresden an das städtische Gymnasium zum Rektor berufen, wo derselbe bis zu seinem Tode (1867) amtierte. In diesem Hause genoss Margarethe eine vorwaltend klassisch-humanistische Erziehung. Ihr Vater liebte es, seiner Familie die besten Sachen von Goethe, Schiller und Shakespeare vorzulesen und sie in den Geist dieser Dichtungen einzuführen. Die bedeutenden pädagogischen Gaben des Vaters haben sich auch auf die Tochter fortgeerbt, weshalb sie auch vorwaltend als Jugendschriftstellerin aufgetreten ist. Diese ihre pädagogischen Gaben bildete sie weiter aus. Vorerst hat sie ihre Geschwister unterrichtet, später wurden ihr die Kinder von Verwandten und Bekannten, unter anderem vom Bildhauer Ernst Rietschel in Dresden zugeführt. So wurde allmählich die Familienstube zu einem Lehrinstitut und 1863 war Margarethe in der Lage, ihr Lehrerinnenexamen zu machen. Da sie für ihre Schule auch einen Religionslehrer haben musste, so wurde ihr der Cand. theol. Emil Lenk empfohlen, mit dem sie sich später verlobte und 1868 vermählte, nachdem er zum Pastor in Siebenlehn, einer kleinen Gewerbstadt Sachsens, berufen worden war. 1873 legte ihr Gatte sein Amt in Siebenlehn nieder. Er siedelte nach Amerika, wo er in verschiedenen Gemeinden Seelsorgerstellen bekleidete, bis ihn 1889 die Johannisgemeinde zu Niederplanitz bei Zwickau berief, zur Gründung einer selbständigen Gemeinde im Voigtlande und dieser gehört er bis zu dieser Stunde als deren Pastor und Seelsorger an. Selbstverständlich folgte ihm seine Frau auf allen diesen Wegen. Nach ihrer Rückkehr aus Amerika und erst im 48. Jahre ihres Lebens kam M. L. auf den Gedanken, gewisse Erinnerungen an Amerika, besonders aus dem Leben der Jugend in Form einer Erzählung aufzuschreiben. {Informationen lt. Internetangebot} |

William Everett Cook (1921 – July 1964), was a western writer who used the pen names Will Cook, James Keene, Wade Everett and Frank Peace. Called "a master western storyteller,"[1] Cook published dozens of short stories and 50 novels before his death at age 42. A number of his stories and novels were turned into Hollywood westerns, including the 1961 John Ford film Two Rode Together.
Born in Richmond, Indiana,[2] Cook ran away from home at age 16 and joined the U.S. Army cavalry[2] before serving as a pilot in the Pacific during World War II. During the war he was severely wounded in the leg but later returned to active duty.[2]
After the war Cook worked as a salvage worker, judo instructor, a bush pilot in Alaska, and as a deputy sheriff in California.[2][3] Cook died of a heart attack in 1964[3] while building a schooner in which he and his wife Thea hoped to sail around the world.[2]
Cook started writing westerns in 1951 and published 100 short stories and 50 novels[3] before dying at the age of 42.[4]
In 1959, Cook used the penname Wade Everett for a series of paperbacks released by Ballantine Books, with these novels being reprinted numerous times over the following decades. Among these was The Last Scout, published in 1960 and considered one of his best novels.[3] The novel is about an unrepentant hell raiser who comes to Deadwood to live with his daughter's family.[2] Other notable books of his include The Wind River Kid (Fawcett, 1958), where the main character of The Last Scout is now a drunk who gets thrown into the job of sheriff, and The Wranglers (Fawcett, 1960), about an older horse-breaker and his partner who travel to monument country in Southern Utah while dealing with personal issues.[2]
Publishers Weekly called Cook "a master western storyteller.[1] His fiction frequently featured the use of "recurring characters to link otherwise standalone stories," as shown in his collection of novellas The Devil's Roundup, which Booklist called "One of the best posthumous western collections to be offered in many years.[4] Most of his books deal with traditional western themes of reformed outlaws, range wars and fights with Native Americans, but some also focused on romance.[3]
After Cook's death a number of posthumous books by him were released. In addition, his Everett byline had become valuable enough that Ballantine Books turned it into a house name for novels written by other authors.[2] Among these was 1968's The Whiskey Traders, which was released under the Everett byline but written by Giles A. Lutz.[3][2]
Many of Cook's short stories including "A Gunman Came to Town" were published in The Saturday Evening Post.[5]
Cook's archives are held in the University of Oregon Libraries.[6]
Cook's 1959 novel Comanche Captives inspired the 1961 John Ford film Two Rode Together,[7][8] with the novel being re-released that year as a movie tie-in by Bantam Books in the United States and as a hardcover in the United Kingdom.
In addition, Cook's stories and novels were also adapted into a number of other Hollywood westerns including episodes of the TV shows Cheyenne, Bronco, and Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre along with the film Quincannon, Frontier Scout and the Spaghetti Western Gli uomini dal passo pesante.[9][10][11]
