Abstract
It can be posited that each western author has written at least one memorable short story or novel. Ernest Haycox, the subject of this pamphlet in the Boise State University series on western fiction, is best remembered for his short story "Stage to Lordsburg" that John Ford made into the classic film Stagecoach in 1939 with John Wayne and Claire Trevor. Since then the story has been refilmed twice, once by Gordon Douglas in 1966 with Bing Crosby and Ann Margaret, and again in 1988 for television with Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.
