John Jakes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of such acclaimed historical novels as North and South and The Kent Family Chronicles compiled in one volume a century's worth of his favorite American Western fiction. To illustrate the evolution of the genre, Jakes has included such legendary authors as Owen Wister, Louis L'Amour, and Zane Grey along side their more contemporary peers such as Loren Estleman and Elmer Kelton. While the stories have changed over the years, certain timeless themes of Western fiction remain constant. At the heart of the stories are ideas that have become synonymous with the American dream--the frontier spirit, individual freedoms, and man's relationship with the land. A Century of Great Western Stories is essentially a retrospective of western writing over the past century, but Jakes also sets out to give readers a glimpse of what the future might hold for western fiction. While trends in publishing might not always be promising, the current crop of contemporary Western authors show that the old west will always have a place in the world of fiction. Like the American dream which it celebrates, Western fiction will persevere. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The 11 stories collected here testify to the success of Steve Frazee, whose avowed aim, as stated in the biographical sketch on the jacket of his first major novel, Shining Mountains, was to "write honest Westerns." Honest presentation is only one characteristic of Frazee's well-crafted tales. He tells a convincing, satisfying, and unusual story even when employing stock Western situations. A major strength is his understanding of the nuances of character, of how people are motivated, of the good and bad within each person, and of the conflicts between man and his environment. Drawing upon his years in the mountains of Colorado, he can vividly and realistically depict a variety of Western settings and do so in such a way that the settings assume a character of their own. The eerie Big Ghost Basin of "The Fire Killer," the high mountain country of "My Brother Down There," and the vast northern plains of "Great Medicine" confront us through his descriptions.

It was the great gold rush to Alaska that began in 1897 that gave birth to the North-Western story. These stories, each by a master of North-Western fiction, span a century. Many of the authors' names are immediately recognizable: Jack London, Robert Service, Rex Beach, James Oliver Curwood, and Max Brand(R) . Many of their stories have been filmed as motion pictures multiple times. Many of these stories appeared in magazines and for their publication here have been restored to their original lengths and texts, as their authors intended. Jon Tuska is the editor of several anthologies of Western stories, including "The Western Story: A Chronological Treasury, The Morrow Anthology of Great Western Short Stories," and "The First Five Star Western Corral." He has been editing a series of short novels published by Five Star titled "Stories of the Golden West." He lives in Oregon.
