This review is from: The Reel West: Classic Stories that Inspired Classic Films (Hardcover)

This is a stupendous collection of solid short stories from any genre. Marvelous pieces like Steve Frazee's chase story, "My Brother Down There," with complex characterizations and suspenseful twists and turns, Elmore Leonard's early effort, "Three Ten to Yuma," "Massacre" by James Warner Bellah, and "The Tin Star," by John M. Cunningham. Not a bad story in the lot - oh, yeah, I almost forgot, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," by the great, Dorothy M. Johnson. A fun read for cowpokes of all ages and stripes.
