Speaking of Elkins has there been any talks about a REHF volume for him as well as the other westerns?

We're always talking about things . . .

The regular and weird westerns are coming real soon; the funny westerns, well . . .

The straight westerns (with the weird westerns) are just waiting for a cover. Western Tales is either the next REHF book or the one right after the second boxing volume. The funny westerns, well, that's a different story.

Thanks.  I knew Six-Gun was a western, but thought it might be included to keep the Sailor Steve Costigan stories complete in one place.

I think you've got that confused a bit. "Six-Gun" is not part of any character series, but could be included with the Breck Elkins series as it contains a horse named Cap'n Kidd, though the story itself isn't exactly humorous. No Costigans are present.

Going through my checklists just a query about whether the following appear in the fourth volume:

Thoroughbreds

The Fighting Fury

Fists of the Desert / Iron-jaw

Fists of the Revolution

Untitled notes (Knute Hansen)

Untitled (“John L. Sullivan knocked out Ryan...”)

To a Man Whose Name I Never Knew (Article)

 

"Thoroughbreds" isn't really a "boxing" story, though the plot does involve a boxer. It isn't included in these books (it is included in Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works). The other full-length stories you list will appear in Vol. 4. "To a Man . . ." will be included in an upcoming biographical collection. "John L. Sullivan . . ." appears in Vol. 1 as "Dempsey Vs. Jeffries." Not sure about the Knute Hansen notes.

Ordered the set.  Would "Six-Gun Interview" be included with the Costigan volumes?

That story is a western.
