Whip Wilson (1911-1964) was an American B-Western cowboy actor in late 1940s and the early 1950s. He was best known for his Monogram roles as a whip-wielding cowboy.
Wilson came along too late to establish himself as a major star because studios were already phasing out low-budget westerns. Veteran comedian Andy Clyde was a valuable asset as co-star, but the series got little attention and was wrapped up in 1952.
From my point of view the best thing about his movies was that they were lensed mostly on the Iverson Ranch, and promotional photos for his films often included the unique landscape features that had attracted film makers to the area for more than a half century.
