William Robert Cox (1901-1988) was a writer for more than sixty years, and published more than seventy-five novels and perhaps one thousand short stories, as well as more than 150 TV shows and several movies on film. He was well into his career, flooding the market with sports, crime, and adventure stories, when he turned to the western novel. He served twice as president of the Western Writers of America, and was writing his fifth Cemetery Jones novel, Cemetery Jones and the Tombstone War, when he passed away. He wrote under at least six pen names, including Willard d’Arcy, Mike Frederic, John Parkhill, Joel Reeve, Roger G. Spellman and Jonas Ward.
Really fun book. I thought this book was better than the first.
One strange thing, Sally McLaine in the first book became Peggy McLane in the second book. I guess Mr. Cox wasn't keeping a series Bible to keep that stuff straight.
First western i ever read. i loved it, i read so many times it actually fell apart. Now i need to read the rest of the books, wish he made more than he did though
