Bass Reeves was a real person, one of the first African-American Deputy U.S. Marshals. I can't find any reference to a real U.S. Marshal in the old west named Murdoch, so despite the slight difference in spelling, I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Page Murdock, especially given Randisi's references to Murdock in a couple other novels.Sean Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338199695708410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401214402679376943.post-46512188111474689902014-02-07T21:07:47.427-08:002014-02-07T21:07:47.427-08:00Randisi seems to do this a lot.

This same book store has an old copy of Venus on the Half Shell under T because it's one of the old copies "by Kilgore Trout." I probably should pick that one up as a curiosity though it wasn't my favorite Farmer book.<br /><br />Now that Amos Walker is in, Estleman is well established in the CU. Just need a link to his Deputy Page Murdock Westerns.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
