Saddlebag Dispatches-Winter 2020

If you enjoy stories of the West, you've come to the right place.




Well, folks, here it is, the Winter 2020 issue, and it may well be our best yet. We've got cowboys, lawmen, Native Americans, and mountain men. We offer wild horses, pickup trucks, buckboards, and wagons. Our headliner for this issue is bestselling author Paul Colt, who graces our cover. J. B. Hogan returns with his long-running serial novel, The Last Rider, only this time he's joined by Spur Award-winning author Richard Prosch and his new short story, "Losing Lillian Gish," as well as more great Western fiction from the likes of Anthony Wood, Sharon Frame Gay, Ben Goheen, Neala Ames, John T. Biggs, Dennis Doty, Julie Eger, Michael McLean, and Kyleigh McCloud. We've got Cowboy Poetry from Marleen Bussma and Richard Manly Heiman and nonfiction profiles on the late, great Kirk Douglas, Cherokee outlaw Tom Starr, silver screen heroine Linda Cristal, and Western novelist and screenwriter James Warner Bellah. The only question is which adventure do you want to dive into first?
