Manhattan Public Library's article about Classic Westerns
The reference staff at the Manhattan Public library, at their website "Little Apple Bookworm", just did an article about the Western genre. I was quite honored to have my novel Bound for the Promise-Land included in their list of recommended western novels, right there with several of my friends and with people -Elmore Leonard, Charles Portis, and Jack Shaefer -who are icons in the field. Never thought I'd see my name in such august company (and here it is only January.)
