4.9/5 (24918 ratings)

Description:The sixth annual collection of the best of the Western short stories forma a superb collection. They are admirable varied, including character studies, action tale and humor. The editor has pieced the eleven top-notch ones from some six hundred possibilities. They come from such magazines as Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Collier"s, The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Saturday Evening Post, Bluebook and leading Western magazines.Oliver LaFarge (Pulitzer Prize Winner) tells of an old colonel who wanted to lead a wagon train and an old Apache who wanted to attack it. In Payroll of the Dead, longest of the stories, Steve Frazee dramatically records the attempt to cover a payroll stolen from Indians. It Takes a Tough Hombre by Noel Loomis carries the reader back to 1880 and the laying of the railroad tracks through the Mexican wilds. Humor sparkles in Henry Gregor Felsen's tale of a simple robber who rustles 200 he of cattle and the problem that faces him in trying to get rid of them.All the stories go to show that the old formulas for Westerns have disappeared. Instead here are tales of men who actually could have lived in the old West. As Scott Meredith points out, the leading characters include a bank robber on the run, a young father, a rustler, a homesteader from New Jersey, a New Englander, a railroad man, an ex-soldier, a tough rancher, an outlaw, an Indian brave, and a hired killer. Not a single wandering cowhand is among them; when it comes to villains there is not a crooked foreman, nor when a feminine character appears is she a rancher's daughter.Every one of the eleven stories presents plenty of excitement and suspense and each strikes a convincingly authentic note. Each is typical of the new type of Western at its best.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
