I hope no one will be put off by what I consider a great compliment-the stories in this volume were written by someone with respect for humanity. Perhaps westerns are traditionally more elegant and reverent than other genres, but I can't adquately express the pleasure I got from reading about two marshals who conduct themselves with decency. Not that the outlaws and rapscallions in these stories are wimpy. But the good guys are...good guys. There is humor and pathos and history and a reverence for the land and times. What a nice collection.
