can't recommend this enough - The Tonto Woman by Elmore Leonard, which inlcudes 3:10 to Yuma and 18 other short stories.

There are a couple of collections by CLAY FISHER...who is one and the same as WILL HENRY...ERNEST HAYCOX, who was probably THE master western writer, and short story was his form. ELMORE LEONARD has four short story collections you can buy right from Borders right now.

Yes, and LOUIS L'AMOUR...he has several paperback collections and some of the older stuff is a bit "pulp" ish but a lot of it is really GOOD.
