THE NAMELESS TRIBE DRAFTS

These are excerpts/notes from drafts of "Men of the Shadows" that deal with REH's "nameless tribes" and not an original story.

NAMES IN THE BLACK BOOK

Featuring STEVE HARRISON

NEKHT SEMERKEHT

Unfinished. Supposedly the last story REH ever worked on.

Originally there was a complete first draft, though the later portions of it were in synopsis form, and a second draft which was started but didn't go very far.
Glenn Lord gave Andrew Offutt the second draft beginning with the remaining portion of the first draft, Offutt worked from that.

REH wrote a short biography, Untitled ("Hernando de Guzeman, born in …"), on Hernando de Guzeman, whom he used in "Nekht Semerkeht."

A NEW GAME FOR COSTIGAN
by "Patrick Ervin"

Alternate Title: A NEW GAME FOR DORGAN
Alternate Title: PLAYING JOURNALIST

Featuring STEVE COSTIGAN

The original typescript lists the author as "Patrick Ervin," a pseudonym REH used in connection with his Dennis Dorgan stories. 
Otis Adelbert Kline and later agents retained the original typescript (titled "A New Game for Dorgan"), and it was eventually donated to Cross Plains Library.
In OAK’s logs the title is originally "A New Game for Costigan," then "Costigan" is struck out and "Dorgan" is written above it, along with "Patrick Ervin."

Cross Plains Library has one original draft of this story and a retyped draft by the Otis Adelbert Kline Agency. 


A NEW GAME FOR DORGAN
by "Patrick Ervin"

Alternate Title: A NEW GAME FOR COSTIGAN
Alternate Title: PLAYING JOURNALIST

Featuring DENNIS DORGAN

The original typescript lists the author as "Patrick Ervin," a pseudonym REH used in connection with his Dennis Dorgan stories. 
Otis Adelbert Kline and later agents retained the original typescript (titled "A New Game for Dorgan"), and it was eventually donated to Cross Plains Library.

NIGHT OF BATTLE

Alternate Title: SHORE LEAVE FOR A SLUGGER

THE NIGHT OF THE WOLF

Featuring CORMAC MAC ART

"NO COWHERDERS WANTED"

Alternate Title: GENTS IN BUCKSKIN

Featuring BRECKINRIDGE ELKINS

All of the chapters of A Gent From Bear Creek that appeared in THE SUMMIT COUNTY JOURNAL were altered to spell Breck's name "Breckenridge"
rather than "Breckinridge," to make it conform to the name of the town (Breckenridge, Colorado) where the Journal was published.

 


NORTH OF KHYBER

Featuring EL BORAK & THE SONORA KID

THE NOSELESS HORROR


NOTES FOR A GENT FROM BEAR CREEK
Two pages of REH-typed notes


NOTES, ON THE FIFTH CRUSADE
One page of REH-typed notes




NOTES ON VARIOUS PEOPLES OF THE HYBORIAN AGE
This is an essay, REH scholars Rusty Burke and Patrice Louinet believe that the first page, dealing mainly
with Aquilonians, Gundermen, and Cimmerians, may have been composed very early in the Conan
series, perhaps around the same time as "The Hyborian Age," while the page covering the
Westermarck was clearly composed as background material for "Wolves Beyond the Border."


NOTHING TO LOSE
by "R.T. Maynard"

Alternate Title: THE PURPLE HEART OF ERLIK


THE NUT'S SHELL
