The following stories do not conform to the unwritten Law of the Old West. All the men are not valorous, nor all the women without virtue. These are stories of uncertain heroes, clean-cut ladies, talkative undersized cowboys, devious preachers, fumbling gunfighters, brave bullies, honest sheriffs, crooked criminals, and a whole host of infamous calumnies against the "code of the frontier" as it has been so courageously delineated from Ned Buntline to Zane Grey to John Wayne and Warner Brothers.
