Great style
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Reading Louis L'Amour (as I do serveral times per book) is already participating with him on horseback crossing the Great Plains. We feel the "chewing grass accent" Texas and live in 19th century full of beautiful pages of epic. A beautiful collection of stories.
Westerns
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
If you like westerns than you will like this book. It is a western about a girl named Lona who has lived on a ranch with a man she asumed was her father. One night a strange man shows up just outside the boundry of the ranch. Everyone knows him as the "Black Rider". He knows who Lona's real father is. I reccomend this book because it makes you curious.
This is the way the west really was
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Louis L'amour shows the reader interesting glimpses of the old west in this collection of short stories. Some of his well-known characters are placed in stories that keep you interested until the end. He has the talent of creating realistic scenarios that aren't always decided by gunplay and death. He shows the reader portions of the everyday life in the old west in a way that subtly reinforces the integrity of the people who really shaped this country. This is the way the west was truly won.
A monument to a great writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This newest collection of stories written by Louis L"Amour brings back several favorite characters such as "Kilkenny" and the "Cactus Kid". I really enjoyed the stories and the nostalgia they brought to my mind of the wild west and how life used to be.
