Because I saw it before May 26 when I spotted one of his Masked Rider novels at a local St Vinnie's: Vulture Valley (1969-00 Curtis Books 123-06076-060 $0.60 127p uspb). Haven't read it yet, but it looks fun.Lindsay Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661541404136799574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477956438422079368.post-71784469593340482992022-07-15T03:25:51.476-04:002022-07-15T03:25:51.476-04:00I made that error also (Walter Tompkins), at one p...I made that error also (Walter Tompkins), at one point, but having recently bought an X-library copy of Texas Renegade (1954-05-10 Macrae-Smith), I did my homework. Biography: Walker A. Tompkins was born on July 10, 1909 in Prosser, Yakima County, Washington. He was the son of Charle E. and Bertha Tompkins who had moved to Washington from Missouri. Tompkins grew up on a wheat farm in Walla Walla County before moving with his family to Turlock, California in 1920. He began his writing career in Turlock, at the age of fourteen, as a reporter for the Daily Journal. At the age of 21, he sold his first western novel to Street and Smith of New York, just before beginning college at Washington State. He also attended Modesto (California) Junior College. https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt958006xs/Lindsay Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661541404136799574noreply@blogger.com
