Jane Stacey comes out West to teach school in "From Missouri" by Zane Grey. Three cowhands working for the Spring Ranch tried to discourage her, but letters from a mysterious Frank Owens convinced her to come. When she arrives, the hands are amazed to see that she isn't the matronly schoolmarm they expected, and half the men in town are falling all over themselves over her. In Max Brand's "Over the Northern Border," Jack Trainor learns that a posse is on its way to arrest his brother-in-law for a stage robbery and decides to make himself a decoy for his sister's sake. His plan is to lead the law on a chase until he crosses into Mexico. When that plan fails, he heads north. The posse won't get him, but the Canadian wilderness might. In "Riders of the Dawn" by Louis L'Amour, we meet Matt Sabre. He's a drifter, a veteran of foreign wars, and he's seeking his fortune out West. Though he's not particularly interested in staying in Haddan's Point, when he's ordered to choose sides or get out of town his stubborn streak emerges. One look at Olga Maclaren is the deciding factor. This is the woman he'll marry - if he lives long enough . . .… (meer)

This collection, edited by Jon Tuska, includes From Missouri by Zane Grey, Over the Northern Border by Max Brand, and Riders of the Dawn by Louis L'Amour. Of course, all three stories deal with growing love affairs between two very unlikely men and women, who all find happiness in the end. The main men characters are noble in character, but rough, and even violent when necessary to pursue their noble paths. As you might expect, the Zane Grey story contains less action. Max Brand's contribution picks up the actions some, and Louis L'Amour included much more suspense and violence than the other two. I liked all three stories, but found the Louis L'Amour tale to be the most satisfying, although not necessarily the most well-written. ( )

The final book in this series (the others are THE UNTAMED WEST and THE GOLDEN WEST), this combines previously unpublished (or in the case of Zane Grey, previously unpublished in their original form) novellas from the three greatest writers of western fiction.

Zane Grey's "From Missouri" tells the story of a group of ranch hands who are suddenly faced with the schoolmarm to whom they've been writing, using an assumed name. How in thunderation were they supposed to know she'd actually turn up on the ranch, looking for the job they'd told her about? And how could they know that, when she said she was "not over forty," she'd turn out to be not only young, but lovely to boot?

Max Brand adds a tale of an honorable badman, headed to Canada to avoid capture, who falls in with a love-struck but simple trapper and helps the man write love letters to the girl back home.

The tale from Louis L'Amour, while not one of his best, is still unarguably one of the master's. A young man comes to town, ready for some excitement, and finds himself enbroiled in a range war and fighting for the love of a woman. ( )
