[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1112922, member: 21194"] I've seen discussions here about people's favorite western music, movies, and television series, so I thought I'd ask for opinions on authors. Louis L'Amour is probably a lot of folk's favorite, and I wouldn't argue with them, but in my opinion Elmer Kelton was at least as good. And though he mostly wrote crime drama, Elmore Leonard also wrote a couple dozen Western short stories and several novels that I think rank right up there with them. After those three, I'd probably say Giles Lutz, and then maybe Luke Short and Walt Coburn. I'm sure someone will chastise me for not mentioning Zane Grey, but for some reason I never really got into his stuff. Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, even wrote a couple of Westerns, but it's probably been 30 years since I read them and I really don't remember how good they were. Anyone else? [/QUOTE]
