Hammett once said that the private eye is the cowboy brought to the
city. In the early days of Black Mask magazine westerns were published alongside
crime stories. Erle Stanley Gardner wrote a series called Whispering Sands
(some of his best work) that are westerns set in the desert of the early
1920s.
