Tom Selleck as a cowboy

Encore has been running Sellecks westerns lately and I find him and his western movies to be highly entertaining. I also love his contemporary "Stone" films, so I guess I must simply be a Tom Selleck fan, especially since I love him as the patriarch of Blue Bloods on TV.
They have run Monte Walsh (I still have not seen the original with Lee Marvin so I still have no basis for comparison), but Selleck's is really good about the dejected cowboy who cannot accept how things are changing to a more modern world.
In Crossfire Trail he promises a dying friend to watch over the guys' wife but when he gets there, she doesn't want his help, but he digs in on the ranch anyway, and comes in mighty handy when Mark Harmon shows his dirty, sneakin', rotten ways.
In Last Stand at Sabre River, it takes him the whole movie to get his wife to forgive him for leaving her, the kids, and the ranch to go fight in the Civil War since their state wasn't in it yet. And, in the meantime, he battles two of the Carradines, and finally another guy, while he pairs up with Keith Carradine in the fight. Another good, action filled film.
Have any of you few western fans seen any of these?
