Deleted Otto Maria Carpeaux from this page since he is not a western fiction author but an author on "Western Civilization."— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.177.168.79 (talk) 17:12, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Added Some 19th Century Authors

[edit]

Project Gutenberg lists mainly 19th century Western authors on its specialized Western books page: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Western_%28Bookshelf%29 We did not have about half of these listed here. So, I went ahead and added the unlisted ones with the exception of Washington Irving. The work Irving is listed for (Astoria: Or, Anecdotes Of An Enterprise Beyond The Rocky Mountains) is indeed about the western frontier, but is history (and maybe also biography), not fiction. It's not even historical fiction. DanQuigley 18:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DanQuigley (talkcontribs)

The link to Elizabeth Butler is incorrect. --Jblykins (talk) 00:06, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WorldCat Genres

Hello, I'm working with OCLC, and we are algorithmically generating data about different Genres, like notable Authors, Book, Movies, Subjects, Characters and Places. We have determined that this Wikipedia page has a close affintity to our detected Genere of western-stories. It might be useful to look at [1] for more information. Thanks.
