THE SPIRIT OF THE WESTAlan LeMay will forever be known as the author of the brilliant novels that became the classic films The Searchers and The Unforgiven. But his short stories are no less... This description may be from another edition of this product.
One of the best collections of Western short stories I've read. LeMay is the author of book that was made into the John Wayne classic movie "The Searchers" (which is considered by some to be the best Western ever made). Extremely well written. The characters are fascinating and you regret that the stories end so soon. The amazing thing is that most were written during the '20s.

This is a collection of Le May's early short stories when he was getting started as a writer. Le May was a cowboy before he became a writer, so the events and nomenclature are the real deal. It comes across as genuine. Le May was modest about his writing skills, but theyre pretty good. If you like westerns with authenticity, this book is for you.
