The return of The Louis L'Amour Wall of Names

A while back, I started something called The Louis L'Amour Wall of Names. My intention was to do a sidebar poll featuring names from each of the stories I'd read up to that point and in which visitors could vote for their favorite in each case. I got results for one story, but that was just before I ended up taking my short break from blogging. I'm feeling a renewed spirit these days in terms of posting stuff, so I thought I'd start up the Wall of Names again. Please note that I've decided to leave each poll up for only 24 hours this time around. There are too many stories to get through--once (if) I catch up, I might start leaving each poll around longer. I have also decided that each story (as in short story, since that's what I've been reading) will get its own place on the Wall of Names, as opposed to doing it on a "per book" basis, which would've involved a run-off for each story collection. I'm posting the Wall of Names itself along the right side of the page--it should be viewable now beneath the "L'Amour Links" gadget.

If you're visiting, be sure to vote! The current poll will close before 2:00 pm tomorrow!

Thanks for the votes, guys. Check back tomorrow for another poll. I'm going to try and keep them going daily.

If there is a tie between Nesselrode and another character, I'll keep in mind that both of you voiced support for Mr. Clay. That should put him over the top. :)
