HOLSTERS AND HEROES

A round-up of choice shorts, from magazine appearance by the members of this organization, provides a true as well as fictional portrait of the West, not only its violence- but also its tremendous energy and enduring heroism. Noel Loomis contributes the preface to the stories which deal with the old West as well as the new, with cow country, with ""law and order"" operators. Bill Gulick, Nelson Nye, Steve Frazee, Frank Bonham, and Wayne D. Overholser are among the more familiar contributors who assure the entertainment value of fighting words and deeds.
