5.0 out of 5 stars Wheeler knows Western fiction, September 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of the American West: The Best of Spur Award-Winning Authors (Hardcover)
Richard Wheeler, author of some of the best historical novels of the Old American West ever written, has gathered here stories from many of his fellow Spur Award writers--Loren Estleman, Richard C. House, Glendon Swarthout, Elmer Kelton, Richard Matheson, Jeanne Williams, Sandra Whiting, among them--and fashioned a superb anthology of the modern Western. Nobody knows the craft of Western fiction better than Wheeler and his introduction to this excellent collection is a masterpiece in itself.
