Corral, Just Tony, Law and Order, The Miracle Rider, My Darling Clementine, Mystery Mountain, The Oklahoma Kid, The Searchers, South of the Border, Stagecoach, Shane, The Stranger Wore a Gun, Zorro's Fighting Legion, etc., etc.), the author focuses on William Boyd (the entire 66 Hopalong Cassidy series), John Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Buck Jones and Alan Ladd.
