BREAKHEART PASS (Movie Edition)
by Alistair MacLean. Charles Bronson movie cover. Condition: UNREAD, but not perfect, 1975 Fawcett Crest paperback, 10th printing. Charles Bronson movie cover. Light tanning to white cover edges & interior pages with pale diagonal crease front cover top corner. Interior clean & tght. Content: Reviewer: "This is famed British story-teller Alistair Maclean's crack at writing a western novel. The plot concerns mysterious events on a train traveling to a remote U.S. Army Fort in what may be the Nevada Territory of the mid-1870's. The riders on the train, a collection of soldiers, politicians, and lawmen, are not who they seem, nor is the situation at the distant Fort as advertised. Fans of Maclean will recognize the usual plots twists, thrill-packed finale, and sardonic dialogue." Movie Plot Synopsis: Train with medical supplies and small U.S. Army unit is heading through Rocky mountains towards plagued Fort Humboldt. Among its passengers are territory governor, priest, doctor and U.S. Marshal with his prisoner, John Deakin. However, nothing on that train is what it seems. The 1975 movie was directed by Tom Gries and starred Charles Bronson, the great Ben Johnson, Richard Crenna, Jill Ireland, Charles Durning, Eddie Little Sky, and Archie Moore. [1 copy available]

CATTLE ANNIE AND LITTLE BRITCHES
by Robert Ward. Condition: UNREAD 1979 Ace paperback, first printing. Light tanning to white cover edges and moderate tanning to interior page edges. Content: Reviewer: "Little Britches and Annie are best friends. Annie wants something more from life and she sees her chance for freedom and adventure when the girls meet up with a notorious gang of thieves (the Doolin-Dolan gang). Annie soon begins a passionate affair with the gang's leader, while Little Britches loses her heart to another member of the gang. The girls are soon introduced to a life of crime and they begin taking part in the gang's unlawful activities. But will the girls realize, too late, that their lark is something far more dangerous than they ever anticipated? This is not a book for kids and this is not a fairytale romance. This is a look at the Wild West through the eyes of a woman outlaw. It's gritty and real and you'll probably never forget it, if you read it." Again, this is NOT FOR KIDS!

directed by Michael Curtiz. 109 minutes run time. B&W movie. Condition: Very good + c. 1984 VHS packaged in clamshell box. Viewed once. GUARANTEED. Content: This 1940 movie is full of action, historical characters, and romance. However, if you are a history buff, you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat yelling, "That didn't happen!!!." Flynn plays James Elwell Brown (J.E.B.) Stuart and Reagan plays George Armstrong Custer. Screenwriter Buckner takes some of the better known generals from the Civil War--Stuart, Custer, Sheridan, Longstreet, Pickett, Hood--and turns them into a young band of brothers fresh out of West Point trying to bring order to the frontier at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. All this takes place under the watchful eyes of Colonel Robert E. Lee, Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy while the future president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis is Secretary of War. The true Civil War history buff will marvel every time the film gets something right. But as the Jesse James movie of a few yars ago,American Outlaws, suspend your knowledge of history and just enjoy the show. Good performances and slam-bang action. The movie starred Errol Flynn, Olivia de Haviland, Raymond massey, Ronald Regan, Van Heflin, Alan Hale, the great Western character actor Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams. and Susan Peters (just before her tragic accident.)

THEY WENT THATAWAY (Movie history)
by James Horwitz. B&W photo section. Condition: UNREAD 1978 Ballantine paperback, first pritning. Tiny edgewear with light tanning to page edges. Content: Reviewer: "The author writes in first person as a disillusioned man in his thirties who reacts to Watergate and the Nixon resignation by embracing his past and setting out to find the living cowboy actors he had loved so much as a youngster. Written in the early seventies, the author was able to track down then-living cowboy stars Gene Autry, Tim McCoy, Charles Starrett, and several others (all of whom have since passed away). Even if you don't care for the films he cherishes (I do), the author is so good at describing his passion, and his ultimate disillusionment with the real world, I can assume that any reader will be fascinated. The ending of this book is one of the most moving things I have ever read." [1 copy available]

WARLOCK (The Legends West Trilogy, Book 1)
by Oakley Hall. Steve Assel cover art.
Condition: Good only, 1988 Bantam paperback edition, first printing. Spine crease with small edgewear. Light tanning to interior page edges. Content: Hall's brilliant, complex take on the American western, first published in 1958, more than stands the test of time. A newly hired gun-slinging lawman, Clay Blaisedell, tries to restore order to the mythical silver mining town of Warlock, CA. . His reputation for violence serves him well during the first robbery on his watch, but his quick trigger finger, and that of deputy John Gannon, also get him in trouble. A bizarre killing spree (covertly perpetrated by Blaisedell's best friend, a murky political figure named Tom Morgan) and an impending miners' strike (one that allows gang leader Abe McQuown to mount a charge against Blaisedell and Gannon) set up the inevitable final, blazing set of confrontations. Hall, who has written more than 20 novels, taps into the mythic essence of the Wild West with a potent combination of dense but fast-moving prose; a colorful cast of violent, corrupt characters; and a diabolical, ethically neutral worldview. His prosaic tracking of the town's violently shifting nodes of power is prescient and brings Cormac McCarthy to mind as the story unfolds. No account of the fictions of the American West can be complete without reconsidering this revelatory novel. The 1959 movie starred Henry Fonda (as Blaisedell), Richard Widmark (as Gannon), Anthony Quinn (as Morgan), Dorothy Malone, and Dolores Michaels. Look for DeForrest Kelly as a good bad-guy. Directed by Edward Dmytryk. Not to be missed if you are a fan of Western movies. [1 copy available]

WELCOME TO HARD TIMES
by E. L. Doctorow. Condition: Very good, gently pre-read 1976 Bantam paperback, first printing. Pale hinge crease with diagonal crease upper back cover corner. Interior clean & tight. Content: As hopeless as a town that will always burn. Doctrow's novel is sleek and powerful, not just an American story, but the story of all society, building up and breaking down, of the dirty nature of the human soul, and the little spots of light that try to burn bright; a story in which the democratic mass is dangerous and the philosopher king is not as powerful as he aught to be, and the Bad Man from Bodie, like the Lord of the Flies, is not only always waiting to ride down from the mountain, but resides in most every human heart. Still, it is an essentially American novel and pays particular interest to deconstructing the Myth of the American West, a kind of anit-Shane. This book could also be called the "universal masterpiece on the cost of cowardice." The movie starred Henry Fonda, Aldo Ray, Janice Rule, & Keenan Wynn. [1 copy available]

THE WHITE BUFFALO
directed by J. Lee Thompson. Movie stills front & back box cover. Condition: Near fine PRIVATE COLLECTION 1992 VHS movie. Tiny "rubbing" top front box cover (I did that). Viewed once. GUARANTEED! Content: Reviewer: "This 1977 movie is based on Richard Sale's book concerning two characters enroute to their mutual destiny, Crazy Horse and Wild Bill Hickock. They are both called to hunt the sacred White Buffalo for a different purpose. Crazy Horse (Will Sampson), to re-claim the right to be called by his name and to wrap the hide around his dead child so that she can enter paradise. While Hickock (Charles Bronson) is drawn by a sixth sense toward his encounter through nightmarish dreams in the belief that the confrontation will solve the sickness that has been in his brain. The movie is so full of western slang that you almost need a glossary of terms to know what is going on. It is either a great movie or just an average one according to how you feel about a western that is mysterious, deep, intensely dark, full of atmospheric snow laden mountains, a god-like Buffalo that cannot be stopped and a stand out performance by Clint Walker as a very bad adversary. You can almost classify this as a Western Horror movie and it has an excellent supporting cast, including Kim Novak, Slim Pickens, John Carradine, the wonderful Jack Warden, Stuart Whitman, Ed Lauter, Martin Kove, and others who fill the stock characters to perfection." This is a very odd Western but well worth viewing and owning. Guaranteed! [1 copy available]
