Weldon Hill


Born
Oklahoma, The United States
Died
February 22, 1992


Pseudonym of William R. Scott (died in Norman, Oklahoma, at the age of 73).

Scott hit the best-seller lists in the early 1950s with Onionhead, his first book published under the pen name of Weldon Hill. He had already had a successful career as an author of short stories and serials under his own name.

Onionhead, about a University of Oklahoma student who became a reluctant hero, drew on Scott's background in the Coast Guard in World War II. It was later made into a movie starring Andy Griffith.

Other novels he wrote include The Iceman, Rafe and The Long Summer of George Adams.
