Reviews for The Riot at Cougar Paw
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is another short western story, starring one of my favourite Robert E. Howard characters, namely Breckenridge Elkins. This one features the usual mix of humour and violence, yet it's not one of the best of Elkins's escapades. Still well worth checking out though.

He'd been away for a few weeks up in the Cougar Paw country, and he'd evidently done well, whatever he'd been doing, because he was in a first class humor with hisself, and plumb spilling over with high spirits and conceit. When he feels prime like that he wants to rawhide everybody he meets, especially me. John thinks he's a wit, but I figger he's just half right.
Air you slavin' over a hot forge for that mangy, flea-bit hunk of buzzard-meat again?
he greeted me. That broom-tail ain't wuth the iron you wastes on his splayed-out hooves!
He knows the easiest way to git under my hide is to poke fun at Cap'n Kidd. But I reflected it was just envy on his part, and resisted my natural impulse to bend the tongs over his head. I taken the white-hot iron out of the forge and put it on the anvil and started beating it into shape with the sixteen-pound sledge I always uses. I got no use for the toys which most blacksmiths uses for hammers.
If you ain't got nothin' better to do than criticize a animal which is a damn sight better hoss than you'll ever be a man,
I said with dignerty, between licks, I calls yore attention to a door right behind you which nobody ain't usin' at the moment.
