Peter Dawson, along with his brother, Luke Short, created and published some of the finest books ever written about the American West. This collection focuses in on the years between 1936 and 1947, all published in the pulp western magazines of the day. They are vintage stories with typical plots, yet each has a character you will not forget--a deputy sheriff, a blacksmith, a doctor, etc. Each story is told with realness and plenty of action to keep you turning the pages. Typically, personally, I like novels over short stories, but these stories are filled with enough characterization and plot to keep me interested. It is indeed a shame Peter Dawson--Jonathan Hurff Glidden--did not write more novels as I think they are his best work, but these are worth the price of a book to have to read for yourself so you can enjoy his genius and entertaining short story telling.
