As pedestrian a group of stories as ever rode in, they must have been written for pre-teen Texan boys. Not a single African American, nor a single adult with a mother, only a couple of stories had more than a single woman, and only in one did they converse. Lots of lost tempers and slugging, shot shoulders, shot ranch hands, and firm jawed men. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"Bandits, outlaws, romance, and adventure abound in Hard Ride, the second-ever collection of tales of the American West from renowned, seven-time Spur Award-winning author Elmer Kelton. Each of Elmer Kelton's superb stories of the West showcase the strength and power of western spirit. They are filled with marvelous characters--from a rodeo clown who seeks redemption via romance, to an outlaw who comes to the aid of ranchers with no other recourse to justice. Powerful Western women feature as importantly as the menfolk here, including a cattle buyer's daughter who can hold her own with any man on the trail, a renowned lady outlaw who rules her gang with her gun, and judge's daughter who is determined to end local mob rule, as "the day of the gun is almost over." You will meet characters whose devotions and decisions enthrall you long after you put the book down. Imbued with an adventurous spirit, Hard Ride is filled with many heartfelt glimpses into the authentic experience of the American West. These stories encompass an enormous array of scenes from the early days of the Wild West into the twentieth century. Readers of all ages can enjoy these tales, each one filled with a passion for life that's as vast as the Texas prairie."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

As in all story collections, some stories seemed better than others, but over all this was an interesting mix of stories. While the anthology easily showed the reader the strength and power of the western spirit, the short story format meant that there wasn’t much time to flesh out the characters. I have been a fan of this author for many years, and Hard Ride showcases his writing and gives us a taste of what he accomplishes with his novels. ( )
