FINE. As new-gift quality! 13 stories composed between 1904 and 1990. Dorothy Johnson's classic "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", explores how a lie affects the lives and futures of three people. Luke Short's story of youthful courage ("Top Hand") demonstrates that age doesn't matter if a man is in the right. John M. Cunningham's "The Tin Star, " (filmed as High Noon), offers a study of how a quiet man of courage goes about his business in the few minutes of life left to him. Frank O'Rourke's "The Last Shot "sets up a classic confrontation and then flip-flops the story line.
