This is a fun collection of western short stories. The draw for me was "3:10 to Yuma", which has been adapted into two very good movies. This story features a lone deputy trying to get a dangerous criminal onto a train leaving for Yuma so he can be transferred to prison. In the meantime, the criminal's gang is trying to rescue the leader before they can board the train. A couple other great stories include a story featuring two hostages being held for ransom, and another featuring someone who joined the cavalry and is greatly regretting that decision. Elmore Leonard has a great writing style that has a quick pace, but does a great job fleshing out the characters. As these are all short stories, it is amazing how much depth he gives characters we spend maybe 20ish pages with. He also creates a lot of tension in each story. The book is a quick read, so give it a try if you are interested in something different.
