Added Some 19th Century Authors
Project Gutenberg lists mainly 19th century Western authors on its specialized Western books page: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Western_%28Bookshelf%29 We did not have about half of these listed here. So, I went ahead and added the unlisted ones with the exception of Washington Irving. The work Irving is listed for (Astoria: Or, Anecdotes Of An Enterprise Beyond The Rocky Mountains) is indeed about the western frontier, but is history (and maybe also biography), not fiction. It's not even historical fiction. DanQuigley 18:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DanQuigley (talk • contribs)
