Ernest Haycox was one of the most successful authors of the twentieth century. At one time he had two serial novels published simultaneously in two different magazines, Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post in the 1940's. The novels were The Wild Bunch and Bugles in the Afternoon. But it was his short stories where he excelled at his craft. Short stories allowed him to explore different writing styles and create characters with greater dimension and depth. He wrote over three hundred. Throughout his career he was always looking to better his writing, and was never completely satisfied. It was his ambition to create a new kind of novel, and perhaps he would have had he lived longer than the fifty-one years he did. He is probably best remembered for the short story, Stage to Lordsburg, which became the movie, Stagecoach that made John Wayne a star. Ernest Haycox was so respected that the Western Writers of American almost named their yearly award the 'Erny' after him before deciding on calling it the Spur. For people who have never read any of his work, they are missing out on one of the best who ever turned a phrase, created a character, or painted a picture of what it was like to live in the wild and marvelous West. This book is a personal review and opinion of his novels and short stories, and why Charles E. Wheeler likes Ernest Haycox's work.

Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. This collection, The Short Stories, originally published in 1938, is definitive. Among these forty-nine short stories are Hemingway's earliest efforts, written when he was a young foreign correspondent in Paris, and such masterpieces as “Hills Like White Elephants,” “The Killers,” “The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style—from the plain, bald language of his first story, “Up in Michigan,” to the seamless prose and spare, eloquent pathos of “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” to the expansive solitude of the Big Two-Hearted River stories. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.
