The Derby Man series was written by Gary McCarthy, a heckuva fine writer and twice a Spur Award winner. He also writes excellent historical westerns. Try some of those. You will not be disappointed.

The Derby Man is one of my favourite western series, although I've yet to read them all and Larry starting this thread reminds me it's about time I read the next one.
There are 11 books in total, this last two only being available as hardbacks as far as I'm aware.
1. The Derby Man 2. Showdown at Snakegrass Junction 3. Mustang Fever 4. The Pony Express War 5. Silver Shot 6. Explosion at Donner Pass 7. North Chase 8. Rebel of Bodie 9. The Rail Warriors 10. Whiskey Creek 11. The Comstock Camels
Don't think I've yet read a Gary McCarthy book I haven't really enjoyed.

I remember reading these when they first came out. It was really something different.
