Theodore Victor Olsen (April 25, 1932, in Rhinelander, Wisconsin – July 13, 1993, in Rhinelander) was an American western fiction author. The films The Stalking Moon and Soldier Blue were based on his works.

Biography

Olsen's family migrated from Norway in 1901. Theodore Olsen was born on April 25, 1932, in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. He went to school in Rhinelander and began to write in high school. He began a Western novel at that time. He went to college in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Olsen finally finished his novel, Haven of the Hunted, and it was published in 1956. He also began to sell Western stories to pulp magazines at this time. Though he occasionally traveled west, he lived his whole life in Rhinelander and used exhaustive research to help accurately portray scenes of the West in his stories.

Olsen was married to fellow fiction author Beverly Butler.

Olsen died in Rhinelander on July 13, 1993, and several works were published posthumously.

Much of Olsen's family still lives in the Rhinelander region. They own a 300-acre (1.2 km) ranch with a century-old farm house and dairy barn.
