This collection of 20th century “men’s adventure fiction” is pretty fun and features some great authors. I read about a third of the stories. Will return to it at some point.

It was ok. A lot of racist stuff in some of the stories. some of them were just dumb. James Thurber's "The Greatest Man in the World" is one of the best pieces of writing I've ever read. Thomas Wolfe's "Boom Town" resonates eerily with today's economic climate.

So far I have read only one story, The Negro in the Well. Having now read two of Erskine Caldwell’s works I have concluded that he did not enjoy the time he spent in Georgia. Once again, none of the characters in this story are sympathetic, not even the man who is stuck in the well.
