Question: Can anyone name any good old western books!?
I am looking for a book that portrays a character to look up to!. Like the dying breed of the ol' west, hard workin, snuff chewin, man who stands up for what he believes is right and against what he believes is wrong, and willing to get ruffed up if needed!.

(No religious stuff please, don't want to read about a bible thumper)

Any recommendations!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The two westerns that I have really enjoyed are:
The Lonesome Gods by Louis L'Amour
The Snow Blind Moon by John Byrne CookWww@QuestionHome@Com

Louis L'Amour was a great Western writer!. Sounds like exactly the kind of characters he created!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Last of the Plainsmen by Zane Grey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
