Save a Genre - Read a Western

Gary Dobbs, over at the Tainted Archive http://tainted-archive.blogspot.com/ , has launched Wild West Monday in an effort to spark more interest in the Western genre. Come on, folks, you know you love westerns, so step up and demand that your library and local bookstores stock them. And if you mystery lovers don't know where your loner protags came from, you need to take another look at those drawling, long-legged legends that brought justice to the west. For a prime sampling, stop over at Gary's blog and read the first four chapters of Chap O'Keefe's "The Sheriff and the Widow".

I read 'em and I did a post about a western legend in Alberta.
