In The Land Of Little Sticks

Five Star consistently brings you the best quality writing the genre has to offer. Five Star Western authors have won numerous awards including the National Cowboy Hall of Fame's Western Heritage Award, Levi Strauss' Golden Saddleman Award, the Spur Award from Western Writers of America and many regional awards as well.The Western genre is not dead! The Western story is the American story. There's a morality and a certain nobility in Westerns, not consistently found in other genres. Westerns are much more than guns and horses. Strong characters and a strong sense of place and time characterize all our Five Star Western titles.This collection of eight stories brings together all the short fiction that Les Savage, Jr. set in Canada, Alaska, or the Arctic. Tales of great atmosphere and vitality, they have all been restored to the author's original manuscripts. In his foreword, author Dan Cushman says: "His North was unrelenting and did not yield to the men and women who contended with it. The North did not, like Iowa, or even Wyoming, yield before the horse and plow. The North was a fixed obstruction, too vast to be crossed without a recognition of the odds".
