Tappan's Burro by Zane Grey

Shanghaied into forced labor on a merchant vessel, Charles Rodney dies aboard ship from repeated beatings - but not before deeding part of his ranch to Rafe Caradec, whom he hopes will protect his family.

This was an interesting story, but I'm used to happy ever afters. I definitely didn't like the ending.

I guess I didn't understand the ending. Some stories are like this. Great detail in the beginning and then the ending come so fast, you're still confused when it's done. The parts I understood I liked.
The Trail to Crazy Man by Louis L'Amour
Again the ending was lacking for me. But the rest of the story was very interesting.
The small biographies of these writers were almost as interesting as their books!
The narrators did excellent work! I enjoyed them very much!

As with all short story compilations, it is a mixed bag. "Tappan's Burro" is easily the best western short story I have ever read and I am so stoked to read everything Zane Grey has ever written now.
