The Wilsonian was the first in a series of dime-store cowboy novellas published from 1885 to 1914 by HJ Hornrather & Sons, Ltd. Including such classics as Gunfight at Goob's Gully and Showdown in Poobsville, the series involved a rotating stable of hacks and dilettantes writing under the pseudonym "Slim Chance."

The Wilsonian of the title was your typical cowboy hero, a nameless doer of good of which little was known except that he hailed originally from Ft. Wilson, Kansas. The Wilsonian broke from the norms, however, insamuch as the hero was a gluttonous devourer of pancakes, which in many installments nearly got him killed. "The flapjack," wrote William Flintrock, "was his Achilles heel and Kryptonite rolled up into one."
