Bought a box of westerns at a yardsale a few years ago, one was JT Edson and a Floating Outfit story with Dusty Fog, as ya know great stuff, a short little cat who knows martial arts in the old west AND a fast draw, gotta love it. That was about 30 Edson books ago.

Edson is a Brit, I didn't know that,

Yup , he wrote like 150 or so of them .

There's several different series but they mostly connect up.

Dusty Fog as a Confederate Captain during the American Civil War.

Dusty and the Floating Outfit.

Ole Devil ( Dusty's Uncle )

Mark Counter

Waco

The later ones are a bit crap , as are the rewrites .

Easy way to tell , is The Kid's horse called the N word or something like Lightning ?

I think it goes

Ole Devil 1820s ? Tommy Okasi , Dusty's martial arts instructor features heavily in these .
Civil War ( Dusty and Red Blaze )
Floating Outfit ( throw Mark Counter, Waco , Calamity Jane in there too )
Alvin Fog ( set after WW1 I think with a relative of Dusty Fog)
Rockabye County books ( set in 60s I think with a relative of Mark Counter)

Might be a few stand alone novels and the do overs , you can see which ones you have, there's a blurb at the front talking about modern measurements and gun sizes in the do overs ..

See if you can get the older ones where the Kid's horse is called N***** as although it's obviously racist the books do read better .

Have you actually read those books?

 

[Kassitus]

Mostly history books. A few from when I was younger, such as Dangerous Animals! and Amazing Insects! I also have Frankenstein and Moby Dick but saving those for when I'm old and bored.

The Boxing Register, it's all there if you like te history of things.

Expect you've read already but Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray's autobiographies are both superb.

My computer desk is filled to the brim with stacks of books. Got a laptop when the PC went up like 2 years ago and just been using as bookshelf ever since.
