Sixguns and Double Eagles

Howdy folks! I'm James Drury. I used to play the Virginian on television, back in the 60's. I hope that gives me some kind of edge in reviewing this western book by Ralph Compton.I have read several books by Compton, and all have been good. He kept his books clean, and I really appreciate that. I wish he would have hung around longer for us to enjoy.Pick up this book, and if you like it you will also enjoy books by Kirby Jonas. Because of Kirby's books, I have gone into reading books on tape. They're wonderful. Since Compton is gone now I hope Kirby Jonas gives many a reader of Westerns a place to turn to.

Unfortunately for the last reader, Ralph Compton died a couple of years ago, so he won't be reading the next in the series. Too bad, because we finally had a writer besides Kirby Jonas and Elmer Kelton who wasn't afraid to be morally proper in his books. Compton didn't need the filth to put out a good story. They call Kirby Jonas the New Louis L'Amour, however, and he more than fits the bill. He is even quite a bit more historically accurate than L'Amour and COmpton, and if you haven't read him then you need to. Yea for Compton, and carry on Kirby Jonas!

RALPH COMPTON HAS AGAIN WRITTEN A STORY THAT I COULD NOT PUT DOWN. THE WES STONE CHARACTER HAS PICKED UP WHERE HIS FATHER NATHAN STONE LEFT OFF . I HATED TO END THIS BOOK YET HATED TO PUT IT DOWN. I CANT WAIT TO GET THE NEXT IN THE SERIES.
