Anyone ever read the Lone Star series, my uncle loved them and kept trying to make me read them but at the age of 20 I was on a different hunt.

I don’t remember if I ever read any of these but looks familiar.
Read some about a character named Slocum that were pretty heavy on the sexual content. I think they may have actually been published by Playboy Press. I think I still have a couple of them in a box somewhere.

We had “The Zane Grey Library” that was hard bound editions of all of his novels. They’re early 1900s and kind of wordy compared to later authors, but some of them are pretty good. “Riders of the Purple Sage” is a classic and “The Lone Star Ranger” is good but kind of weird. The publisher actually took two of his novels that he had submitted and mashed them together into a single book. Some yard back some publisher actually split them back apart and reprinted them as the two separate books they were intended to be.
I've been to Zanes cabin remains on the Rogue River. Cool spot.

Tom Horn was pretty good if I remember correctly. Plus Linda Evans.
Its not really the story of the actual Tom Horn, but its a decent movie on its own. Kind of like The Revenant, the real story is wild enough and can/should be told as it really was. Would love to see an accurate Horn movie, he was a shifty killing motherfucker.
