I feel like somebody should challenge sweetandcool to a duel.

The correct answer is Louis L'Amour, "America's storyteller". He was an extremely prolific author of Frontier stories (also known as Westerns), and completely dominated the genre.

Personally, I think his (non-western) short stories are absolute dynamite, particularly since they relate to his real-life experiences as a boxer, hobo, sailor, soldier, and rancher.
I have heard of Louis L'Amour, but have never read any of his stuff, although I think my dad had a couple of his books. I happened to be wandering around the local library this afternoon and I saw a collection of L'Amour short stories (there's like three dozen of them in the collection) so I decided to give it a whirl. We'll see how it goes. (Side note, surprised I didn't think of Zane Grey.)

Oooo, which volume did you get? Fingers crossed you got volume 4, the adventure collection.

Volume 1, they had both 1 and 2, figured I should start with one.

Ah, I see. It has been so long I can't remember the first. All but the 4th and 6th are collections of western stories. 4 and 6 are adventure and crime respectively.
