Reviews
On Mar 13 2020, a reader said:
Tales of Wells Fargo contains eight short stories based on the T V show of the same name from the late 50's to early 60's starring Dale Robertson. Frank Gruber created the series and wrote many of the screenplays or the stories on which the screenplays were written. In this book you will meet many historical personages and places--Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, the OK Corral, the Pony Express, and other well known icons of the West. Frank Gruber was known for this technique, and his history was often contrived to fit the fiction he was writing as to time and place, but basicly this was in accordance to the beliefs of the day about these things. Only in the last few years has there been any real effort to examine the "facts" more closely. Overall these are good stories, entertaining stories.

About Browse Awhile Books
We've provided used and out-of-print books to western Ohio readers and collectors since 1980 through our retail store. We have been an active online bookseller since 1997, when we were among the first generation of Bibliofind and ABE vendors. We work hard to offer a variety of interesting books, priced competitively, graded and described honestly, delivered promptly and pleasantly. Our 2,000+ square feet shop is located in the heart of the Old Tipp City Historic District, among more than 50 antique and arts shops. We're open 11AM-5PM Tuesday through Friday and 11AM-4PM Saturday. We're a two-minute drive from I-75, about 15 minutes north of Dayton, Ohio. Our current inventory consists of approximately 200,000 books, about 1/3 of which are in the online inventory. A word about descriptions...we attempt to grade and describe books as accurately as possible, so that you will know exactly what you are buying. We want our customers to order with confidence and to reorder with pleasure - if you receive anything other than what you expect, we prefer that it is because we've exceeded your expectations. Many of our books are described as being within Brodart covers or protective sleeves. These are the sort of clear covers that you find on library books, though (of course!) we do not affix them to the book in any way. Virtually all dust-jacketed books are within Brodart covers, whether so described or not.
