Note:

Coming up with about three dozen quintessential books from the American West is a tough task.  No excuses, but another couple dozen or so Western writers (and their books) could have (should have?) been listed, like Edward Abbey, Rick Bass, J.V. Brummels, Norman H. Russell, James Welch, and Peter Wild.
