I removed all references in the article to John H. Reese winning the 1977 Spur Award for Best Western novel with Halter-Broke. He didn't. Reference:
http://www.westernwriters.org/spur_award_history.htm#1977 I am surprised information so erroneous and so prominently mentioned could have made it into the article in the first place. That error has now been duplicated in other places on the web. -Dan Quigley —Preceding

One source for the "Spur Award for best Western novel, 1977, for Halter-Broke." is in the "John (Henry) Reese 1910-1981" entry in Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 2003, a commercial database. But as you mention, they must have been mistaken. --
