Quotes by Don Herron  (?)

“You have there the myth of the essential white America. All the other stuff, the love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.”
Don Herron, The Dark Barbarian That Towers Over All: The Robert E. Howard LitCrit MegaPack

“Too many people, once they reach a comfortable position in life, forget the important role writers like Hammett — who dropped out of high school in his first year to work supporting his family — or Howard — struggling to break into the pulps with absolutely no professional advice and little encouragement — play in literature, just as they tend to ignore the role the working man and woman play in society.”
Don Herron, The Dark Barbarian That Towers Over All: The Robert E. Howard LitCrit MegaPack

“God is guts” — a pre-Hemingway and pre-Hammett apothegm of toughness — is from the hobo ballad “The Little Red God”
