Wild Hairs. Guard ("our acknowledged leader") actually was educated at Stanford ('56), Reynolds ("the runt of the litter") and Shane ("our sex symbol") at nearby Menlo College of Business Administration ('57 and '56). Until they came together as a trio in 1957 at San Francisco's Purple Onion, they were, says Guard. "a bunch of wild hairs pointing in all directions."

The author evidently meant to rescue the cowhand from the raunchy cliché of sex and six-shot violence, hoping to demonstrate that the Western hero can hold his own with the Homeric. Arch Eastmere, the tall, silent type home from a couple of seasons of dark adventure in the South, is a mean hand with a hair-trigger .45. He makes a natural enough Achilles.
