I can't add to your "to read"...Tracy,<br /><br />I can't add to your "to read" list, because everyone else has already suggested some real gems, but I'll share that I'm a Louis L'Amour fanatic. My top three of his are (not counting the Sackett books): "The Man Called Noon", "The Key-Lock Man", and "Reilly's Luck".Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-50757552652013914092015-11-09T16:54:07.337-06:002015-11-09T16:54:07.337-06:00Another author to add to my list.

These "recent" editions were printed in 1980. I love these. Louis L'Amour--read numerous ones, but can't recall any specific titles. Same with Zane Grey.<br />Romance novels--wouldn't touch one!

I think one western author to mention would be Dorothy M. Johnson. She wrote a lot of short stories that were later made into movies that we all are familiar with--The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Hanging Tree, A Man Called Horse...my favorite short story of hers was called LOST SISTER. If you have not read that one, it's very well Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-36879234901109574572015-11-09T14:19:05.748-06:002015-11-09T14:19:05.748-06:00Because we didn't have a TV on a regular basis...Because we didn't have a TV on a regular basis until I was sixteen, I missed many episodes of Bonanza and some other popular western shows like Wagon Train. When, at last, my father consented to have a TV, Gun Smoke and Have Gun Will Travel became my dad's favorites, and I loved Maverick and Sugar Foot. My nephew watches old episodes of Have Gun Will Travel and talks about it like it was Sarah J.

Now I include Helen (Hunt) Jackson in that list. All well known, but not necessarily for their writings on the West. <br /><br />Like you, I grew up on Television Westerns, and remember reading a 'children's novel' about Have Gun Will Travel. I still remember reading Louis L'Amour's "Renaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-14513566020630275502015-11-09T09:06:04.334-06:002015-11-09T09:06:04.334-06:00The first western I read was Nora Robert's &qu...The first western I read was Nora Robert's "Lawless." I loved that book. It was this book that had me picking up every new release she put out after that. It was the perfect read, showing the hardships of the times but also sizzling with an under current of raw lust and need. I too watched all the westerns back in the day. My dad loved them.
