“A Gent from Bear Creek” is the title of both an original short story, as well as a novel 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.
This short story was altered slightly to become Chapter 5 of the novel, A Gent From Bear Creek.
