Pistol Politics

Set in the wild west, this story follows Breckinridge Elkins, a cowboy navigating the rugged landscape of frontier life. The narrative reflects Robert E. Howard's deep connection to Texan culture and the violent myths of the Old South, shaped by his upbringing in various boomtowns. Howard's early experiences with pulp magazines and his literary ambitions laid the groundwork for his later, iconic characters, including Conan the Cimmerian, who defined the sword and sorcery genre. This republished edition includes a new introductory biography.
