Notes
Edited by Paul Herman
"A Gent from Bear Creek" is the title of both an original short story, as well as a novel created by combining several previous short stories with some new material; the previously published short stories were altered a little to create chapters with a continuous story line, and new material was added as additional chapters.  
The chapters are:
"Striped Shirts and Busted Hearts" (new)
"Mountain Man"
"Meet Cap'n Kidd" (new)
"Guns of the Mountains"
"A Gent from Bear Creek"
"The Feud Buster"
"The Road to Bear Creek"
"The Scalp Hunter"
"Cupid from Bear Creek"
"The Haunted Mountain"
"Educate or Bust" (new)
"War on Bear Creek"
"When Bear Creek Came to Chawed Ear" (new)
.
"While Smoke Rolled" was originally a Pike Bearfield story titled "While the Smoke Rolled." It was rewritten by someone at the Kline agency into a Breckinridge Elkins story.
"Texas John Alden" was originally a Buckner J. Grimes story titled "Ring-Tailed Tornado." It was rewritten by someone at the Kline agency into a Breckinridge Elkins story.
