Thanks for the suggestions. I vaguely remember him mentioning Luke Short, and Max Brand and Louis L'Amour also sound familiar. In the interest of something new, I think I'll steer him towards the Powder Valley series.

I remember those Powder Valley westerns as good, clean fun. -- In fact, perhaps your father read a few back in his day?

The fact is that I've been looking for them for years, never realizing that Brett Halliday was the author. (He's also the author of the Mike Shayne mystery/PI series. As well, there was a TV series from the late '50s.)

Please post a follow-up on your results.
