The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: And A Man Called Horse, the Hanging Tree, and Lost Sister »

Dorothy M. Johnson wrote dozens of highly acclaimed western stories and books in her long career. The stories in this book are her very best. They were ranked as four of the top five stories of the 20th century by the Western Writers of America, with "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" as number one. That story plus "A Man Called Horse" and "The Hanging Tree" became major Hollywood films. This is the first time Johnson's famous stories have been published together in one book. This edition is destined to earn a place in every western library. Great educational tool too!

Library Journal

Johnson perhaps is the best-known female Western writer. This volume collects the title story with "A Man Called Horse," "The Hanging Tree," and "Lost Sister." Besides being the basis for popular Western films, they were voted by the Western Writers of America as four of the five best Western stories ever written, with "Liberty Valance" number one. If you stock only one of Johnson's books, this is the one to have. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
