Well, was he born in 1924, or in 1916? It can't be both. My own reference books show the date in 1916 to be the correct one.

He's my great uncle. I;ll consult my grandmother and get back to you.

hardcover?[edit]

The article says his output was all paperback originals, but very early on some of his work came out in hardcover runs. For instance, I have a hardcover copy of Steel Mirror. But I don't know enough about the publishing history to be sure the hardcover came first.

Could there be some more attention paid to his westerns? A couple of those [BIG COUNTRY and SMOKY VALLEY] are genre classics, still sought after today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.9.135.162 (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

check a quote[edit]
