The Ben Blue series by Lou Bradshaw is an eighteen-book Western saga published between 2013 and 2020. Starting with Hickory Jack and Blue, the series follows its protagonist through frontier life, gunfights, and the varied landscapes of the American West. The books cover locations from Texas to the Pacific Northwest, with titles like Blue Norther, Spirit Valley, and Palouse indicating the geographic range.
At eighteen books, this is Bradshaw’s longest and most popular series. Later entries like True Blue, Blue Valley, and Man With No Face show the character aging and the world around him changing. The Rubio books (Rubio: The Legend and Rubio II) add a secondary character arc to the series.
