First edition. A few minor edge stains to the endsheets, small dot of "bleached" stain to the front cover, else very good in orange cloth with spine and cover titles stamped in brown; lacks the rare dust jacket. A scarce, early pseudonymous western by the co-founder and president of the Western Writers Association who wrote over 125 books, won two Spur Awards: one for best Western reviewer and critic, and one for his novel LONG RUN, and in 1968 won the Saddleman Award for ¿Outstanding Contributions to the American West.¿ THE SHOOTIN' SHERIFF was the first of seventeen westerns Nye would pen as Clem Colt. Wild Bill Dorne, an expert in the art of "draw-and-shoot," is elected sheriff of Spavined Nag, Arizona. He sets out to clean up the frontier town but soon runs into a gang of rustlers and outlaws. A tight copy of this scarce Phoenix Press western.
