What western novel would you like to see made?

Louis L'Amour, Zane Gray, Elmore Leonard, etc...

 

What novel that hasn't already been made into a movie would you like to see made today?

 

While technically pre-western, I'd like to see Jubal Sackett made into a movie.

 

That's my all-time favorite Louis L'Amour novel.

The series following Appaloosa.

 

Too many Louis L'Amours to mention.

The trilogy written by Harry Combs. A great series, I have them and have read them several times.

 

Brules,  The Scout   & The Legend of the Painted Horse.

In addition to the Louis L'Amour novels already mentioned, I would say Flint and the Kilkenny trilogy.

Loved the Kilkenny books. Would also love some decent ones of Utah Blaine and Will Reilly. I think there was an old movie of Utah, but it was.........not good. Nolan and Logan Sackett would be good too.

My personal opinion has long been that the top Western author out there was Elmore Leonard.

Hollywood must have concurred, because they made a lot of his Westerns into movies. The ones that come to mind right now are Hombre, Valdez is Coming, Joe Kidd, 3:10 to Yuma (twice), Last Stand at Saber River, and The Tall T . Not to mention the slew of his non-Westerns that were made into flics.

Gwynne, S. C. Empire of the Summer Moon.

The Wolf and Buffalo by Elmer Kelton

Pierce, Michael D. The Most Promising Young Officer: A Life of Ranald Slidell Mackenzie. 

I liked Kelton's "The Man who rode Midnite." Of course he's kinda like LL, I've liked most of his.

Tucker, any and all of the Sackett Books, , heck pretty much any book by L'Amour.

 

Though not a western, The Walking Drum would make a great mini-series.

Amen to The Walking Drum.  It is a shame that L'amour passed before he could write a sequel. His knowledge of Middieval history was something else!  I'd also like to see "Flint" and "Sitka" made into movies, provided Hollyweird didn't mess with the plots, characters, and firearms the way they usually do!

Somehow him fanning the .32's didn't work for me.
