LibriVox recording of Bear Creek Collection Vol. 01, by Robert E. Howard. Read by RK Wilcox.
Breckinridge Elkins is the roughest, toughest, fastest-shootin', hardest-fightin' feller in the Bear Creek settlement, and probably in the entire Humbolt Mountains. As he travels further from home, he single-handedly takes on outlaws, settles (and starts) feuds and tries his hand at romancing the girls. He also discovers a lot of strange customs among other folks, such as building houses out of boards and wearing clothes that ain't buckskins. Set in Nevada during the late 1800's, this collection of stories is a great rollicking romp through the American frontier as seen through the eyes of one of the most enjoyable characters created in the history of tall tales.

Oh wow this is a hoot!!!
Breckinridge Elkins is the biggest man in the mountains. He's a patient man, who's not too bright, but when he gets mad, watch out!
Each story is its own tale, with a bit of linking between them. I also noticed that each story has at least one laugh-out-loud scene. You will enjoy this collection, just don't play it at a library! :-)
Reader has a lovely drawl that he uses to add character to the reading. It is very nicely done, thank you!

Robert E. Howard: Humorist
Not being a fan of western fiction, after 40 plus years of reading Mr. Howard's tales of grim and gory barbarians, puritans, and slimy monsters I never realized until now that he could be funny. A gap in my knowledge is now filled. Thank you LibriVox, thank you RK Wilcox.
