Burroughs, Edgar Rice: Western Omnibus, v1, 22 Dec 07
 
1 Attachment(s)
I put together an omnibus of ERB's 4 western novels:

THE BANDIT OF HELL'S BEND
One woman, two men, maurading Indians and a mysterious robber known as The Black Coyote.

THE WAR CHIEF
A white man's son, Andy MacDuff, is taken by Go-yat-thlay as a baby and raised as an Apache. In time the child becomes known as Shoz-Dijiji, a grim and powerful warrior, the son of--Geronimo!

APACHE DEVIL
Shoz-Dijiji continues his adopted people's war against the hated "white-eyes." The romance between Shoz-Dijiji and a white woman is threatened by outlaws and the Apache Devil dispenses justice.

THE DEPUTY SHERIFF OF COMANCHE COUNTY
Ole Gunderstrom has been murdered and one of the suspects is Buck Mason the deputy sheriff, only Buck has disappeared.

Thanks for doing these. I've done most of Burroughs' books but Westerns just aren't my "thing" :).

Interesting to have these books - much SF has been described as 'Westerns in space', I'm curious to see the parallels (if any) in ERB's work :book2:

Sparrow: if you can find a used copy in a charity shop of a Zane Gray or Louis Lamour book, they more than ERB knew how to write a "western" novel.
