Jerry,  May I recommend Zane Grey Western Novels to you - they are a giant 
leap better  than my comparatively anemic ramblings and even comic books, but 
hit the same  target.  Truly inspiring an appreciation of those romanticized old 
western  times (which probably tasted like a mouthful of desert sands on 
parched lips to  those who acted in them) you won't be let down.  Author Zane Gray 
wrote  many of his emocional works while basking in the lesser known crown 
jewels of  Arizona topography - the Mogollon Rim (also H.H.'s abode)...in a 
cabin he had  built in 1920 about 40 miles away from Meteor Crater.  Highly 
entertaining  and at the time Barringer was reaching a crescendo doing what he did 
best...see  if you can find any references in the Zane Grey works of the 1920's 
to Meteor  Crater!!

The most promising are:
"Nevada" (1928)
"The Hash Knife  Outfit" (1933)
"30,000 on the Hoff" (1940)
"Sunset Pass" (1931)
"The  Drift Fence" (1933)
"Under the Tonto Rim" (1926)

Saludos, Doug
