      Woodrow Wilson Rawls (September 24, 1913 – December 16, 1984) was an American writer best known for his books Where the Red Fern Grows and Summer of the Monkeys.


      Early years


      Woodrow Wilson Rawls was born in the Ozark Mountains near Scraper, Oklahoma in 1913, to parents Minzy Rawls and Winnie Hatfield Rawls. His family's farm was located on his mother's Cherokee government allotment. When Rawls was 16, the United States economy entered the Great Depression, prompting his family to leave their Oklahoma home for California; however, the family's convertible broke down near Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Rawls's father found a job at the nearby toothpaste factory. Despite his sporadic formal education, Rawls was taught to read by his mother and developed a love of books after reading the wilderness adventure novels of Jack London.
      In the 1930s and 1940s, Rawls became a carpenter and traveled to South America, Canada, and Alaska. He wrote five manuscripts during this period, including an early version of Where the Red Fern Grows. Rawls's scripts contained many spelling and grammatical errors and no punctuation. Because of this, he kept the manuscripts hidden in a trunk in his father's workshop.
      Rawls served time in prison twice while in Oklahoma. According to the Bear Grease podcast, Episode 42, Rawls was imprisoned for 18 months in 1933 for the crime of stealing chickens. In 1940, in New Mexico, he again served time for breaking and entering and was sentenced to two to three years. During this term in prison, he worked to refine his writing skills, though he still felt that his lack of formal education meant that the novels were not fit for publication.
      In the late 1950s, Rawls worked for a construction company on a guided missile range in the Southwest. Later, he transferred to a construction site near Idaho Falls to work on a contract for the Atomic Energy Commission. Rawls lived in a cabin near Mud Lake. While working there, Rawls met his future wife, Sophie Ann Styczinski, a budget analyst for the Atomic Energy Commission. The couple married on August 23, 1958.
      Prior to his marriage, Rawls destroyed all his hidden manuscripts, embarrassed for his wife to read them. Learning of this, Sophie encouraged Rawls to recreate one of the stories. Rawls allegedly completed the 35,000 word manuscript in three weeks. Sophie assisted him in editing the manuscript and submitted it to the Saturday Evening Post, which published it in three parts under the title "The Hounds of Youth" in 1961. Doubleday purchased the story and published it as Where the Red Fern Grows.
