Jerry, May I recommend Zane Grey Western Novels to you - they are a giant
leap better than my comparatively anemic ramblings and even comic books, but
hit the same target. Truly inspiring an appreciation of those romanticized old
western times (which probably tasted like a mouthful of desert sands on
parched lips to those who acted in them) you won't be let down. Author Zane Gray
wrote many of his emocional works while basking in the lesser known crown
jewels of Arizona topography - the Mogollon Rim (also H.H.'s abode)...in a
cabin he had built in 1920 about 40 miles away from Meteor Crater. Highly
entertaining and at the time Barringer was reaching a crescendo doing what he did
best...see if you can find any references in the Zane Grey works of the 1920's
to Meteor Crater!!

The most promising are:
"Nevada" (1928)
"The Hash Knife Outfit" (1933)
"30,000 on the Hoff" (1940)
"Sunset Pass" (1931)
"The Drift Fence" (1933)
"Under the Tonto Rim" (1926)

Saludos, Doug
