In my collected short stories (6 volumes) I add an Afterword doing just that. The western collection (Vol.3) is VISITORS. http://authl.it/B06XK4K5C3Nik Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060923673065456386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-41347735154816172872017-10-24T22:56:45.010-05:002017-10-24T22:56:45.010-05:00I think that a big part of being a western writer ...I think that a big part of being a western writer is being able to recognize those little, mundane, day-to-day things that other people don’t even think about; and then speculating on how that might have impacted people 150 years ago.
