A Checklist of Floating Outfit Titles

View Floating Outfit Characters

 

sepiacowboy2.gif (2008 bytes)J.T. Edson describes a Floating Outfit as a group of cowhands who travel the outer sections of ranchland dealing with problems that occurr far from the main house. Dusty Fog, The Ysabel Kid and Mark Counter make up the Floating Outfit at the OD Connected Ranch, and they travel far and wide punching cows and righting wrongs in the old West.

Floating Outfit titles have been published by various publishers in the United States including Bantam, Dell, Charter and Berkley. They are rousing adventures but they also feature interesting historic detail. They are  dappled with footnotes that highlight the intricacy of the series and the family lines of the characters.  Recent titles are available from Amazon. Many are out of print but they are often on hand in used bookstores or in web auctions.

OTHER SERIES    

Edson has written many other books including other series, though often those are connected with the Floating Outfit characters. In addition to the complex family trees of the Fog and Counter clans, he takes into account the Wold Newton theory which holds that most exceptional literary  and pulp heroes are related.

Other series include Waco, Calamity Jane, Waxahachie Smith, Rockabye County and Bunduki. Civil War adventures of Dusty Fog and others and solo tales of Ole Devil are also among his works.
