Never read one, but would like to. Seems most are now crazy expensive.

Girlhunter,
Just watch one of the horse operas on grit TV for the cliff notes version. 😊
He kept the Saturday Evening Post and John Ford pretty busy.

I know what movies are based of his stories.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Fort Apache are two of my all time favorites.

I admit, I never heard of him until here just now. I read a few Zane Grey, and an awful lot of Louis LaMore while I was in school. Quite a few novels, Mitchner, Tom Clancy, Stephen King too. As I got older, I find myself reading historical non fiction almost exclusively. Campaign studies and biographies mostly. I find that the twist and turns that fate deals out to soldiers and leaders is often more interesting than most novels!  7mm

And Eugene Manlove Rhodes if for only "Four Faces West", from his short story "Paso Por Aqui".
I love the American (Mythical) West.

Yes RG!
Would love for Mr. Leanwolf to chime in!!!! Okay. This is from imdb.com "In World War I, James Warner Bellah enlisted in the Canadian army and became a pilot overseas in the Royal Flying Corps, and later the Royal Air Force. In World War II he started as a lieutenant in the 16th Infantry Div., was detailed to the General Staff Corps before Pearl Harbor and became assigned to Headquarters First Division, later with the 80th Infantry Div. Still later he served on the staff of Adm. Louis Mountbatten in Southeast Asia. He was attached to Gen. Orde Wingate's Chindits in combat in Burma, also to Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell and to Col. Cochran's First Air Commandos. When he left the service he carried the rank of colonel. He was the author of 19 novels, including "The Valiant Virginians" and "Blood River". I only met him once and that was briefly at a Writers Guild of America general membership meeting, i believe in 1973 or 1974. An older writer friend of mine who knew him well introduced us. He seemed like a very nice and personable man. He was a fine writer, however, and I've enjoyed many of his movies. He died in 1976. L.W.
