We got a kick when we came across the character of Kim Sartain in several stories! I have two questions; How or where did Mr. L'Amour find the Sartain name? My second question is that I find the character to be named Jim Sartain in the 50's short story, Gila Crossing. That is the only time I find the first name as Jim, the remainder of stories the name is Kim.Why did he change from Jim to Kim? Anyone ever hear this commented on?
