My grandfather was a voracious reader of westerns. Back when I started branching out there were few sold in the book stores and those never engaged me. My library sells donated books for $1 and one time it had this tome, the Morrow Anthology of Great Western Short Stories. I picked it up remembering that I wanted to find some good westerns. There were quite a few stories in it that I really enjoyed. But good short story writers aren't necessarily good novel writers and I haven't found any novels by the ones that I've liked. I've tried to find western writers that work for me on Project Gutenberg, Faded Page, etc. but it's rather hit and miss.
Anyhow, for a recommendation I still say the Injun and Whitey series is a fun read:

I also uploaded here two epubs by Knibbs and I'm guessing that I liked those.
