520 "In the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Ox-Bow Incident, Walter
van Tilburg Clark explores the thin line between
civilization and barbarism through the story of a lynch
mob that targets three innocent men, exposing a dark
authoritarian impulse at work the American frontier. Set
in Wyoming in 1889, a time when ranchers and cattle
companies waged war with each other, Jack Schaefer's
iconic Shane deploys many of the genre's most essential
elements, brilliantly filtered through a boy's
perceptions. Alan Le May's The Searchers, the basis for
John Ford's cinematic masterpiece starring John Wayne,
follows the dogged quest of two men to rescue a young girl
taken prisoner by Comanche warriors. And Oakley Hall's
Warlock, a novel that anticipates the later books of
Cormac McCarthy and Larry McMurtry, casts the battle for
control of a southwestern outpost as a bloody saga pitting
a marauding gang of cowboys and rustlers against the
town's defenders, led by the legendary gunslinger Clay
Blaisedell. All four novels were memorably adapted for the
screen, and their gripping stories--told with brisk
narrative energy, psychological depth, and laconic humor--
have contributed unforgettably to the Western's enduring
legacy in American culture" --Amazon
