A Gent from Bear Creek was first published by Herberg Jenkins in England, 1937 after Howard’s death. This version is published by Zebra and is basically the same as the Donald M. Grant also from 1975 and unfortunately has a few errors and editorial changes, including removal of all italics.

The title of both an original short story, as well as a novel was created by combining several previous short stories with some new material; the previously published short stories were altered a little to create chapters with a continuous storyline, and new material was added as additional chapters.
