These four collections bring together Alan LeMay’s short Western fiction, most of which was originally published in pulp magazines during his active writing years. Spanish Crossing (1998) was the first of these posthumous compilations, followed by The Bells Of San Juan, West of Nowhere, and Tonopah Range.

LeMay’s short stories share the same qualities that made his novels successful: strong settings, practical-minded characters, and plots driven by the realities of frontier life. Readers who know LeMay primarily from The Searchers will find these collections give a broader view of his range as a writer, with stories covering everything from cattle drives to small-town justice.
