It's possible to write a good Western with no women, of course.)James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-46023985001077365442014-04-04T08:02:25.659-05:002014-04-04T08:02:25.659-05:00I haven't read this one, and I'm glad I ha...I haven't read this one, and I'm glad I haven't. I'll be downloading from Prologue soon. And there better be a pretty girl in it, or two or three! You don't read pulp westerns for reality. If you want reality, you go to Time-Life, fer cryin' in the Queen's beer!Peter Brandvoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008419428583093754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-87891125843535161962014-04-04T07:00:10.213-05:002014-04-04T07:00:10.213-05:00I have a ton of western paperbacks and I'll ha...I have a ton of western paperbacks and I'll have to see if I have this one. Sounds great. Hopefully there is no pretty girl character because in reality they were few and far between in the west. Except for the bar girls and prostitutes and a few wives of ranchers, it really was a man's world.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
