The Confrontation DePittars hurled himself about with a terrific leap, a great gust of air pouring out of his mouth. All his features were away from the light and obscured?and he broke for the center of the street at a dead run. He yelled: ?Travis!? He stopped dead. He emitted one black curse, and afterward his lank body seemed to break in the middle. Clay Travis remained rooted, but his nerves and muscles answered the warning of that fractional moment. His broad palm slapped the protruding gun butt and wove it upward and forward. A wisp of wind touched his cheek, and a detonating roar smashed the thin drawn silence to fragments; and then his own tardy shot roared out deeply and found its fair mark. DePittars?s broken cry went wailing along the street and high over the housetops, and DePittars fell with some short effort to keep his feet. He called again, but it was a small and despairing cry that died in his throat.

On a Silver Desert

Vocal Republican, accomplished gardener, lover of large cars, Ernest Haycox was nothing if not three dimensional. Despite a haphazard childhood that included abandonment by his parents, Haycox 1899 1950 decided early on to be a writer. Once he began he did not stop, approaching writing with both an unparalleled passion and a keen business sense that included normal business hours in a downtown Portland office. Until now little has been written about Haycox, the famed Collier’s and Saturday Evening Post contributor who wrote twenty four novels and more than two hundred short stories. Bridging the gap between the formula Western and the literary western novel, Haycox frequently incorporated actual historical events into his works: Trouble Shooter documents the building of the Union Pacific railroad, The Border Trumpet covers the Apache wars in Arizona, and Bugles in the Afternoon draws upon the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Director John Ford adapted Haycox s work for Stagecoach 1939, starring John Wayne, as did Cecil De Mille for Union Pacific 1939, starring Barbara Stanwyck. Ernest Haycox Jr. describes his father s life, work, and views on the craft of writing. In a remarkably candid biography, original photographs of Hollywood stars and excerpts from Haycox s correspondence, including letters from the last years of his life, round out this incisive look at a literary giant.
