Some interesting items learned from reading non-fiction western material recently.

-Ernest Haycox rented a writing office in downtown Portland so that he would go to work everyday as if writing were a regular job.

-The slicks had an editorial policy to not portray Native Americans "sensitively or compassionately".

-When Jack Schaefer submitted Shane to Argosy Magazine it was his first fiction that he had written. He was such a novice that he sent them the original and didn't keep a copy for himself.
