Note: "After making his living for nearly twenty years as a free-lance photojournalist, C. Herb Williams says he is experiencing a mid-life crisis, one that has caused him to focus his creative energies on writing fiction. His first SF story sale was to If in 1954, and after a long gap, he sold another tale to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1980." The quotation above is from the intro to his story in Amazing Stories in 1991. This may be the same "C. Herb Williams" that wrote the 1976 book "Indian Treaties: American Nightmare". That book's intro says Williams "is a full-time writer with a background including nine years as a daily newspaper reporter, another eight in the public relations department of a large natural resource oriented corporation. He has published with major outdoor publications and many newspapers. He authored a cover story in Fishing Tackle Trade News on the subject of "Indian Treaties — Sportsmen's Nightmare." That book includes a picture of C. Herb Williams. There are also articles by "C. Herb Williams" in The American Legion Magazine, Jan 1976, Writer's Digest, Aug. 1981, and the Asbury Park New Jersey paper (1985 and 1991; one with a photo credited to him), so if these are all the same person, he may have been local to Asbury Park, NJ.
