Quote for THE SNOWS OF AUGUST, Loren D. Estleman, Editor From the anthology: American West. "Jory Sherman was a member of the San Francisco beat poets that included Jack Kerouac. He is also one of the best western novelists of all time. 'The Snows of August' contains elements of Ernest Hemingway and Ambrose Bierce, but don't be fooled; when you read a story about bear hunting and you come away smelling of bear, that story is all Sherman."
