Zane Grey was already been mentioned as classic westerns. Project Gutenberg of Australia has a fair bit of Zane, and pointers ot others, here
But while Bret Harte is mentioned in this thread and it worth reading, I have a hard time classifying him as writing westerns as the term is normally used. His stories tend to be California gold rush tales, which aren't quite the same thing.
