Gooden Does It Again

Arthur Henry Gooden has done it again with "Smoke Tree Range" by presenting the west in all of its glory, as it was presented in the 1930's. I first read this book 40 years ago in an abridged version to "speed up the action" and when I re-read it, I was just as thrilled as I was back then. Why they cut what they did really makes no sense because the novel speeds along at a rapid pace. I am glad someone is reprinting Gooden's work, as he is a "traditional" western author whose work has gone relatively unknown, except to us who enjoy such product. Gooden learned his craft as a screen writer in Hollywood during the silent era, and his books reflect the pace and patter of those days. So, if you are looking for a good read of action, romance--with trouble between hero and heroine--this is the book for you. A western when the west was still young. Read and enjoy.
