Publisher's Notes
Louis L'Amour is far and away the most famous name in frontier fiction. His short story output was so prolific that many gems he originally wrote for magazines remained uncollected--until now. This book brings together nine of these tales and reveals the author at the height of his powers.

The Morrow Anthology of Great Western Short Stories
by
These stories - many of which have not been seen since they were originally published in pulp magazines like Western Short Story, Adventure, or Ace High - reflect a defining aspect of the Western experience: the freedom to choose one's own road, and the willingness to sacrifice comfort, companionship, and safety to follow that road. Whether it is the solitary cattleman in Ernest Haycox's "Deep in This Land", struggling against the elements and his own loneliness, or The Shifter in Max Brand's "The One-Way Trail", trying to escape his outlaw past, the characters who populate these stories are dedicated to the possibility of change and aware of how difficult that change can be. One of the ironies of Western fiction's place in our culture is that it is perceived as "men's fiction". But women made and continue to make a significant contribution to this genre, and this collection highlights some of their best work. Though often forced to disguise their sex through ambiguous pen names, women writers such as B. W. Bower, Honore Willsie Morrow, and Vingie E. Roe mastered the art of the Western short story and made it their own. The stories in this collection represent not only some of the finest writing in the Western genre but also some of the best fiction in American literature. They capture the sunburnt essence of the Frontier, from the Rio Grande to the Rocky Mountains, and are reminders of a time when opportunity was as wide as the horizon.
End of the Drive
by Louis L'Amour
End of the Drive captures all the grit, grandeur, and glory of the men and women who wielded pistol and plow, Bible and branding iron to tame awild country. Here a boy of seventeen, yearning to prove hes a man, squares up against an outlaw...and discovers that what counts is not how fast you can draw a gun but how much faith you have in yourself. A veteran trail driver, whos faced lightning and hail, raiding Comanche and thundering stampedes, finds that theres nothing quite so dangerous as the courting of a beautiful womanHere, too, in stories told with LAmours patented poignancy and power, a homesteader fighting for his rights is brutally beaten and crawls off to die...only to stumble upon an ancient talisman that restores his faith and will to live. A preacher from a distant land rides into a small frontier town with a voice full of fire and a saddlebag full of miracles...to deliver a promise and a warning that lead the local folk to a most surprising revelation. And in the full-length novella "Rustler Roundup", the hardworking citizens of a law-abiding town are pushed to the edge to defend all they hold dear. As suspicion spreads and evidence mounts, the rumors of rustlers in their midst threaten to explode into a full-blown range warEach of these stories bears the masters touch--comic twists, stark realism, crackling suspense--all the elements that have made Louis LAmour a frontier legend in his own right. In End of the Drive, LAmour brilliantly illuminates the dramatic struggles and enduring truths, the self-reliance and self-determination that have long beat at the heart of America's greatness.
Spanish Crossing
by Alan Lemay
Alan LeMay is most commonly remembered as author of the classic Western novel, The Searchers, which was made into a film starting John Wayne. But LeMay also wrote many short stories. The best have been collected and published in book form by Five-Star for the first time. "The Wolf Hunter" is a gripping tale of a bounty hunter who is tormented by one of his prey, a coyote he calls Grinner. In "Delayed Action" a man who forced Sheriff Crabtree to back down is found shot in he back, murdered by a bullet from the lawman's own gun! Spanish Crossing is sure to captivate Western aficionados.
Legend of a Badman
by Ray Hogan
"Debt of Honor" concerns an older lawman brought out of retirement to tame a trail town. "Stranger in Black" is about a woman, deserted by her husband who has become a gunfighter, and her subsequent difficulties in raising two boys on her own. "Mountain Man" takes place in New Mexico and is about a young woman from the Spanish ruling class who enlists an independent trapper to escort her to a convent. "The Town Killer" is a fictionalized biography of stock detective and gunman, Ben Thompson.
