Thank you for reading it! I don't often read Westerns, and I never would've read this if it hadn't been highly recommended to me. I have an ongoing frustration with how great works (often, as you know well, fantasy and science fiction) get pigeonholed into little subgenre categories and become almost inaccessible to anyone who isn't in the know, who is just looking for a great read. This is one of those books: it's steeped deeply in its time and place, but it speaks to the larger human condition in a remarkable way, I think. And it certainly has appeal for readers who don't normally read "Western" books. I truly hope you enjoy it! I'd love to know what you think of it. Kelton was the real thing, too: he knew his subject firsthand.
