About David Lavender
- David Sievert Lavender (February 4, 1910 – April 26, 2003) was an American historian and writer who was one of the most prolific chroniclers of the American West.
- He published more than 40 books, including two novels, several children's books, and a memoir.
- Unlike his two prominent contemporaries, Bernard DeVoto and Wallace Stegner, Lavender was not an academic.
- Much of his writing was influenced by his first-hand practical knowledge of the American West and the historical realities and locations depicted in his books—in the mines, on the trails, in the mountains, and on the rivers.
- Lavender was a two-time nominee for the Pulitzer Prize, and was widely admired by scholars for his accuracy and objectivity.
