I thought "The Girl Who Got Rattled" was just a real tragedy (which I love), a heartbreaking tale. But it also showed the hardship and realities of the West at the time, so it was not only a really good piece of fiction, but also a really good look into how things were. That's true of all the tales, though.
As for my runners-up, I liked the whimsy of "The Mortal Remains" and the one-man-show of Tom Waits in "All Gold Valley".
Really, though, I enjoyed them all.
