Stage Coach, What a Ride!

Stage to Lordsburg was the story the movie Stagecoach was taken from which made John Wayne a star in 1939. Yet you will not find the "Ringo Kid" in the short story. The character is called Malpais Bill. The whiskey drummer is there, the gambler, an Englishman, a cattleman, the shady lady, and the army girl, and the main plot line. Yet one can "see" how this story affected the screenwriter as he composed his screenplay. The other eight stories take you into "Haycox Country" as only he could do--accurate to description and history; filled with boldness and danger at every turn of the trail--an untamed land. The hard back edition is titled By Rope and Lead, so you get the idea of how harsh this country was on law breakers and "bad" men.
