AN EXCELLENT WESTERN ANTHOLOGY -A MUST READ,
By
This review is from: The Funeral of Tanner Moody (Mass Market Paperback)
A reporter on his way to New York for a job possibilty stops at The White Elephant Saloon in Ft. Worth for a meal. Inquiring as to why so many folks were gathered the reporter was surprised to hear the crowd had gathered for a funeral and wake. The funeral of Tanner Moody. So he decides to write a series of articles about Moody, gathering his information from the stories told by those in attendence. Marthayan Pelegrimas in her magnificent tale Poor Ole Moody tells of Tanner's early life, the young girl who always loved him, the death of Moody's stepmother and how he protected Ellie. Love And Bullets is an exciting story by Peter Brandvold of how Tanner became involved with a beautiful Mexican girl and her thirst for revenge against her father that led Moody down the owlhoot trail. Now Tanner Moody despite his reputation as an owlhoot was also a badge toter as James Reasoner relates to us in his stirring tale Tanner Moody And The Prophet Mountains. You'll find that Tanner Moody was also at one time a bounty hunter as you read Livia Washburn's thrilling story of how Moody rescued a group of abandoned boys out on the western plains while bringing in an old acquiantance who just happened to be an escaped prisoner. Kerry Newcomb, who once his story The Man Who Let The Devil Out, gets out to readers and publishers alike will be selling books faster than he can write them. This is an intriguing tale of a man from Tanner's past who with unexpected help from Moody, was able to rediscover his courage. Then there is the well crafed story Three-Handed Winner by Robert J. Randisi about a poker game Moody had with some well known westerners that had a deadly ending for some would be robbers. With additional stories by Elmer Kelton and John Jakes, THE FUNERAL OF TANNER MOODY IS A MUST READ and an OUTSTADING book that is very well edited by Robert J. Randisi. I would hope Mr. Randisi does other books like this in the future.Les

Multi-Authors,
By R. D. Harden - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Funeral of Tanner Moody (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason I bought this book is because my favorite Western Author, Elmer Kelton was listed as one of the key authors, as well as John Jakes, whose series on America I enjoyed reading. Whereas these two authors made a good contribution, they were not signigicant enough to hold a complete thread on just who was Tanner Moody, a ficticious name. In summary, I think we had too many authors to make this book a good read.

GOOD OLD WEST YARNS,
By Joseph S. Romaninsky "joesreads" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Funeral of Tanner Moody (Mass Market Paperback)
Found this paperback on a remaindered pile at the grocery store ($1.99).Good collection of yarns woven around a central character. Bat Masterson is on his way to New York for a newspaper job and happens on the wake of Tanner Moody, a legendary gunfighter/sheriff/bounty hunter/rustler. Masterson sees the potential for a series of articles about the man, based on the reminiscenses of those who knew him. Overall quality of the tales is good. Found Branvold's "Love and Bullets" the least believable: full of cliches and x-rated material I did not enjoy. Fans of western short stories should enjoy this all star anthology. Lots of action! |
