Saturday Morning Western Pulp: New Western, March 1941
This is another "cowboy, old-timer, and gun-totin' girl" cover with a nice sense of action to it. The lead novel is by L.P. Holmes, a well-regarded Western author whose work I haven't read yet. One of too many I just haven't gotten around to. Other authors in the issue include the always-reliable Norman A. Fox and Jim Kjelgaard, whose juvenile novels about dogs were a staple of my reading when I was a kid. His story in this issue has a great title: "Bear Tracks to Hell!" Now, who wouldn't want to read that? I certainly would.

Great action cover, though it might be a good idea for the three of them to spread out a little; otherwise one volley of gunfire might kill them all.
Popular Publications sure had the craziest story titles and blurbs.
Like you, I was a huge reader of Jim Kjelgaard books. My favorite was BIG RED. Living in wintry Western New York demands you have a snow blower. When I bought my big red Toro, I named it "Big Red." It's given me over 20 years of faithful service!
NIGHT MARSHAL by L.P. Holmes is a terrific short western novel.
