Book Overview
Ben Cowan and Bijah Catlow had been friends since they were boys. By the time they grew to manhood, Catlow had become an outlaw and Cowan a U.S. marshal. So when his old friend rode to Mexico to pull the biggest robbery of his career, it became Ben Cowan's job to hunt him down. While trailing Catlow south of the border, Ben meets Rosita Calderon. Intelligent and beautiful, her presence further complicates what is already a dangerous situation. While trying to protect his friend from Mexican soldiers and place him under arrest, Ben realizes that the price of getting Catlow back across the border might be more than he is willing to pay.

Gold Fever & Indian Trouble
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book from June, 1963, has its locale in the desert area of Sonora, the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico. The Frank McCarthy painting used on the cover of the Bantam paperback has always held my interest as being somewhat unique for L'Amour books. This is a light-hearted romp concerning a legend of Mexican gold being carried on mule train or 'conducta'. And though the United States law and the entire Mexican Army will be after Bijah Catlow he is going to try to get the gold. But the girl, the Mexican General, and passing through Seri Indian country alive, (they use poision-tipped arrows), are complications of which he hadn't reckoned. Catlow's life long friend Marshal Ben Cowan is another of those complications. There is alot of humor in this novel, but there is a danger and 'breathlessness' in it also. The book is much better than the movie, starring Yul Bryner and Richard Crenna, which played it too much for laughs. Re-reading CATLOW is always similiar to meeting an old friend. It is another of the L'Amour books that hold one's attention in its re-reading. Semper Fi.
Catlow is an exellent book, full of never ending action.

Catlow is an exellent book that is full of action.The lesson that the characters learned was that it is important to persevere through hard times. The minus to this is that people with the wrong motives can suceed with what they are attempting to do. If the"bad" percever more than the "good" people they can perscervere even if the "good" people are trying to stop them and reach thier goals.Catlow is an ecelllent book for pleasure reading.

This is a hilarious book about two friends, one a sheriff and the other a wanted man! The sheriff catches his friend time and again, only to lose him. To find out the end, buy the book! Believe me, it's well worth it, 'specially to a western and Louis L'Amour fan!
