If you read one LL book, get The Walking Drum. It is a historical novel set in Europe and the Middle East in the 12th century. Apache |

The westerns I like are more gritty and grimy. Morality is more gray. Stuff like Bodie the Stalker by Mike Linaker, Crow by Laurence James or The Guns of Sapinero by Peter Brandvold. |

My grandfather was a voracious reader of westerns. Back when I started branching out there were few sold in the book stores and those never engaged me. My library sells donated books for $1 and one time it had this tome, the Morrow Anthology of Great Western Short Stories. I picked it up remembering that I wanted to find some good westerns. There were quite a few stories in it that I really enjoyed. But good short story writers aren't necessarily good novel writers and I haven't found any novels by the ones that I've liked. I've tried to find western writers that work for me on Project Gutenberg, Faded Page, etc. but it's rather hit and miss.
Anyhow, for a recommendation I still say the Injun and Whitey series is a fun read: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=330868 I also uploaded here two epubs by Knibbs and I'm guessing that I liked those. Last edited by hobnail; 02-16-2022 at 10:26 PM. |

A cheapie that I enjoyed is Incident at Butler's Station by Mike Linaker (writing as Richard Wyler. Many western authors write under pseudonyms). It's a take on the 'characters defending a place from a horde' trope. Think Rio Bravo, Night of the Living Dead or Assault on Precinct 13. $2 if you'd like to try it. |

Another favorite book is Shoot Him On Sight by William Colt MacDonald. Unfortunately it is only available in paper. I still have mine and do reread it occasionally.

Damn, I just checked Abebooks and Shoot Him On Sight goes from $5.00 to $25.00 used.
