Four Graves West: A Western Duo (Five Star First Edition Westerns )

The heart of the American West can be found in the Western fiction of Steve Frazee. He captures the past with impeccable historical accuracy and a deep understanding of human character. In "Mormon Forge" Patrick Stong was recently made the sheriff of Antelope County. Stong's predecessor was a coward and a tippler, and has been appointed town marshal of Mormon Forge where Stong is headquartered. "Four Graves West" finds Bondad County in a drought. There is plenty of water on Purs McCool's Wagon Wheel and Asa Kirker of the Ladder Ranch wants Purs McCool to sell out, but McCool refuses. Steve Frazee began making major contributions to the Western pulp magazines with stories set in the American West as well as a number of North-Western tales published in Adventure. Few can match his Western novels that are notable for their evocative, lyrical descriptions of the open range and the awesome power of natural forces and their effects on human efforts.
