The Collected Short Stories Of Jack Schaefer

Jack Schaefer may be thought of as a writer of westerns, but in the usual sense of the phrase this is a misnomer. The serious intention of his writing...has nothing to do with the 'shoot-em-ups' so dear to the movies...Schaefer is a researcher, a scholar of that history....

A world has been preserved, has been summoned alive again, and it becomes part of our knowing and not just an idea taught in class. This is the magic of storytelling. And here is a book filled with it.
