Status Updates From The Adventures of Breckinri...

Read "Gents in Buckskin." I liked this one a lot better than the last one. I liked that Breck's reputation now precedes him in a legendary fashion.

Re-read "Gents on the Rampage." Not my favorite Breck story. Something about it just didn't grab me.

Reread "Pistol Politics," a rip-roarer of a tale, even if a bit predictable.

reread Pilgrims to the Pecos. Fun story.

Re-Read "The Apache Mountain War" and Breck sure did cause a ruckus. Fairly enjoyable tale, with a lot of slapstick fighting.

Re-read "The Riot at Cougar Paw," which had one of the most slap-stick fights ever between Breck and his cousin, Bearfield Buckner, all on account of a joke from Breck's brother John.

Reread "Cupid from Bear Creek." Good use of Breck's penchant for misidentification. I liked the use of Cap'n Kidd in this one.

Reread "The Feud Buster" a story where a man ought not to have been bragging about exploits not quite true. Good cartoon violence in this one.

Re-read "War on Bear Creek," an enjoyable tale. I liked this one because the plot didn't rely on Breckinridge's penchant for mistaken identity as its catalyst. Instead it had a straightforward plot involving an Englishman who wanted to hunt bear. Breck still didn't get the girl, though.

Finished re-reading "A Elkins Never Surrenders," which was genuinely funny. The prior ones made me smile - this one made me laugh.

Re-read "The Road to Bear Creek," which was quite enjoyable - sent on a mission by his dad, Breck makes a mistake, but it all turns out in the end.

Re-read "A Stranger in Grizzly Claw," which was a pretty funny story, with the tall tale elements in full force.

Re-read A Gent from Bear Creek. You can see REH getting better with the character. Lots of misdirection and misunderstanding here, but Breck ends up the hero at the end despite some false starts on the wrong side.

Reread "Guns of the Mountain." Breck is tricked, discovered he was tricked, and makes it right - but loses the girl. All with REH's characteristic tall-tale humor style.
