Well said, and the reply satisfies my interest
and questionable curiosity..
I have read everything he has ever wrote, except maybe some short stories. Loved his seemingly historical stabs at writing far off places abroad
and the 'The Haunted Mesa', something that has always intrigued me about Native Indian spirits and such. I truly believe he wanted to write more like that, but felt, maybe, he needed more to satisfy his fans than himself, but given the opportunity, he may have delved into it more vigorously..
Thanks for the informative reply.
